MCP4Humans - Model Context Protocol Client for VS Code

MCP4Humans Logo

MCP4Humans is a user-friendly VS Code extension that allows you to connect to and interact with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers directly from your editor. It provides an intuitive interface for managing MCP servers, executing tools, and viewing results.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for AI tools and agents to interact with external systems. It enables AI models to access tools, resources, and capabilities beyond their training data, such as:

  • Retrieving information from databases or the web
  • Executing code
  • Accessing file systems
  • Interacting with APIs
  • And much more

Features

Easy Server Management
  • Add, edit, and delete MCP server configurations
  • Connect to both local (stdio) and remote HTTP MCP servers (SSE or StreamableHTTP)
  • View server connection status at a glance

Server Management Interface

Tool Execution
  • Browse available tools from connected MCP servers
  • Execute tools with a simple form interface
  • View tool execution results in a collapsible panel
  • Work with multiple servers in parallel
  • View raw logs for main events in a tree view format for easy consumption

Tool Execution Interface

Seamless Integration
  • Access MCP servers directly from the VS Code sidebar
  • Persistent storage of server configurations
  • Intuitive UI

Getting Started

  1. Install the MCP4Humans extension from the VS Code Marketplace
  2. Click the MCP4Humans icon in the activity bar to open the MCP Servers view
  3. Click "+ Add Server" to add a new MCP server
  4. Fill in the server details:
    • You may start by pasting the usual JSON configurations in the JSON box and letting it populate part of the form for you.
    • Fill in the rest as needed.
  5. Click "Connect" to test and save the server configuration
  6. Click on a server in the list to view and execute available tools

Supported Server Types

Local (stdio) Servers

MCP4Humans supports local MCP servers that communicate via standard input/output (stdio). You can configure:

  • Command: The executable to run (e.g., python, node, uv)
  • Arguments: Command-line arguments (e.g., run, server.py)
  • Working Directory: For local installations or development.
  • Environment Variables: Custom environment variables to pass to the server process.
Remote HTTP Servers

MCP4Humans also supports remote MCP servers that communicate via Server-Sent Events (SSE) or Streamable HTTP. You can configure:

  • URL: The server endpoint (format: http(s)://{host}:{port}/sse or http(s)://{host}:{port}/mcp)
  • Headers: Custom HTTP headers for authentication or other purposes

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.96.3 or higher (Compatible with latest Cursor and VSCode)
  • An MCP-compatible server to connect to

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
