Continue.

Continue is an open-source coding assistant that runs as a VS Code or JetBrains extension. MCP support is in its YAML config.

Auto-install

Paste this into Continue

Click below to copy a self-install prompt. Paste it into a Continue Agent-mode session and it'll edit the YAML config and reload itself.

Or follow the manual steps below.

npm install -g @work.books/cli

In VS Code: ⌘+⇧+P → Continue: Open Config. This opens ~/.continue/config.yaml.

mcpServers:
  - name: workbooks
    command: workbook
    args:
      - mcp
      - serve

Save. Continue reloads MCP servers on save.

YAML, not JSON. Newer Continue versions moved from config.json to config.yaml. If you have an older install, the equivalent JSON lives at experimental.modelContextProtocolServers.
Agent mode only. MCP tools only fire in Continue's Agent mode. Chat mode ignores them.
JetBrains parity. The JetBrains extension reads the same ~/.continue/config.yaml, so the setup carries across IDEs.

Switch Continue into Agent mode and ask: "List my Workbooks groups."
