Overview⁠

With the official MCP extension (or any agent toolkit), VS Code users can wire Route5 into their AI workflows—letting prompts open issues or pull backlog context while you code.

Setup instructions⁠

  1. CTRL/CMD P and search for MCP: Add Server.
  2. Select Command (stdio)
  3. Enter the following configuration, and hit enter.

npx mcp-remote https://mcp.route5ai.com/mcp

  1. Enter the name Route5 and hit enter.
  2. Activate the server using MCP: List Servers and selecting Route5, and selecting Start Server.

Remote MCP connections are still early and we’ve found that the connection may fail or require multiple attempts. If you experience issues, try restarting your client or disabling and re-enabling the Route5 MCP server.
