Configure Your Agent

To use the MCP server with your AI agent, you’ll need to configure it in your agent’s settings. See the Agent Setup guide for detailed instructions for:
  • Claude Code
  • Cursor
  • VS Code
  • Other MCP-compatible agents

​
Verify Setup

Test that MCP tools are available: 
You: Create me a "Hello World" issue

Claude: I'll create a "Hello World" issue for you.
[Uses mcp__plugin_sudocode_sudocode__upsert_issue]

Done! I've created issue ISSUE-001: "Hello World"
If you see tool calls like mcp__plugin_sudocode_sudocode__*, the setup is working!
