Connect VS Code to Sensefold

VS Code’s agent mode supports remote HTTP MCP servers. Connect with an Agent key — created in Sensefold Settings with a permission tier: read_only, edit, or full.

Setup

Create an Agent key at app.sensefold.app → Settings → For agents, pick a tier, and copy it — the full key is shown only once.
Add Sensefold to your MCP configuration. For one project, create .vscode/mcp.json:
```
{
  "servers": {
    "sensefold": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.sensefold.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <agent key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
To make it available everywhere, put the same servers entry in your user-level MCP configuration instead (MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette).
Start the server from the MCP: List Servers command or the inline Start action, then open Copilot Chat in agent mode. The tools picker lists Sensefold with 6 tools for a read-only key, 10 for edit, 11 for full.

Keep the key out of git. A project-level .vscode/mcp.json with a real key must never be committed — prefer the user-level configuration, or add the file to .gitignore. If a key leaks, revoke it in Sensefold Settings and create a new one.

Try it

“Search my Sensefold library for what I saved about streaming responses.”
“Read the item about the MCP spec and list the tool annotations it defines.”

See the MCP tools reference for everything VS Code can call, and Permissions for tiers and revocation.
