Getting OpenMCP
Installing OpenMCP from the Plugin Marketplace
You can directly obtain the OpenMCP plugin from the plugin marketplace of mainstream VLEs. For example, in vscode, click on the left side's plugin marketplace, and then search for OpenMCP in the search bar to find the OpenMCP plugin.
Offline Installation
VLE plugins are essentially zip files with the .vsix extension, which are cross-platform. Our CI/CD bot automatically builds and uploads the .vsix file to GitHub Releases after every version release. You can access the corresponding GitHub release page for each version through the following link:
https://github.com/LSTM-Kirigaya/openmcp-client/releases/tag/v{version_number}
For example, for version 0.1.1, its release page link is: https://github.com/LSTM-Kirigaya/openmcp-client/releases/tag/v0.1.1
Under the Assets section, you can find the corresponding .vsix file.
In addition, you can also get the latest OpenMCP .vsix from the following marketplace web pages:
- https://open-vsx.org/extension/kirigaya/openmcp
- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kirigaya.openmcp
Click on the .vsix file to download it. After the download is complete, you can directly install it. There are two ways to install an external .vsix file in VLE.
Method 1: Install in VLE
In the VLE plugin marketplace page, there is a button with three dots. After clicking it, you will see a list with a button I have highlighted in red.
Click on it, find the .vsix file you just downloaded, and click to complete the installation.
Method 2: Install via Command Line
If your VLE is globally installed, a command-line tool will be available automatically. The command is as follows:
::: code-group
code --install-extension /path/to/openmcp-0.1.1.vsix
trae --install-extension /path/to/openmcp-0.1.1.vsix
cursor --install-extension /path/to/openmcp-0.1.1.vsix
:::
/path/to/openmcp-0.1.1.vsix represents the absolute path of the .vsix file you just downloaded. This will also install the plugin.
