# 🔧 Connecting Your AI to Taskr

## 2.4 Setting Up VS Code

VS Code has built-in MCP support starting from version 1.102, making setup straightforward:

### Step 1: Install VS Code

1. Go to [code.visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com)
2. Download and install VS Code (version 1.102 or later)
3. Open it

### Step 2: Open MCP Configuration

1. Open Command Palette (`Cmd + Shift + P` on Mac, `Ctrl + Shift + P` on Windows)
2. Type **"MCP: Open User Configuration"** and select it

### Step 3: Add Taskr MCP Server

1. Add the configuration below to your `servers` section, then save:

```json
{
  "taskr": {
    "type": "http",
    "url": "https://www.taskr.one/api/mcp"
  }
}
```

### Step 4: Sign In

The first time VS Code connects to Taskr, **it prompts you to sign in through your browser**. Approve the connection with your Taskr account, and you're set.

### Step 5: Verify Connection

2. You should see **taskr** listed and running, with its tools available in Chat (Agent mode)
