VS Code does not have a built-in MCP client, but two popular extensions add MCP support. Use either depending on your workflow.

Cline

Cline is a VS Code extension with native MCP support. See the Cline integration guide for setup steps.

Continue

Continue is a VS Code extension that supports MCP servers as context providers. Add the following to your Continue config (~/.continue/config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "sitecmd",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/sitecmd/mcp-server/index.js"]
    }
  ]
}

Replace /path/to/sitecmd/mcp-server/index.js with the actual path. On macOS the MCP server ships inside the app bundle at:

~/Applications/SiteCMD.app/Contents/Resources/mcp-server/index.js

Reload VS Code after saving.

What you get

Once connected via either extension, your AI assistant can call these tools:

list_projects - list all projects tracked in SiteCMD
get_scan_results - fetch the latest scan results for a project
list_issues - get open issues ranked by severity and impact
build_fix_prompt - generate a detailed fix prompt for a specific issue, including affected files and recommended steps
get_score_trend - retrieve score history to understand trajectory over time
