VS Code Insiders

​

Prerequisites

• VS Code Insiders installed
• CORE account (sign up at app.getcore.me)

​

Step 1: Configure CORE MCP Server

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "core-memory": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://app.getcore.me/api/v1/mcp?source=VSCode-Insiders",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

​

Step 2: Generate API Key

1. Log in to your CORE dashboard at app.getcore.me
2. Navigate to Settings → API Key
3. Click Generate new key
4. Name it “vscode-insiders”
5. Copy the generated API key
6. Replace YOUR_API_KEY in the configuration above with your actual API key

​

Step 3: Reload VS Code Insiders Window

1. Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)
2. Run “Developer: Reload Window”
3. This will activate the MCP configuration

​

Step 4: Verify Connection

1. Test memory search: Ask the AI assistant: Can you search my memory for [something you've previously stored]?
2. Check connection status: Verify that core-memory appears in your MCP servers list
3. Test operations: Ask the assistant to store and retrieve information across sessions

​

Troubleshooting

• Verify your API key is correct and not expired
• Ensure the configuration file is properly formatted
• Reload the window after configuration changes
• Check that you’re logged into your CORE account
