Prerequisites

• VS Code installed.

Setup

{
  "servers": {
    "mempalace": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mempalace",
        "mempalace-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH": "<MEMPALACE_PALACE_PATH>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gotchas

• VS Code uses the `servers` key (not `mcpServers`) and requires `type`.

VS Code is the exception to every other client: its top-level key is "servers", not "mcpServers", and each entry needs an explicit "type" (for example "http" or "stdio"). Secrets are not inlined; instead you declare an "inputs" array and reference each value as ${input:id}, so VS Code prompts for it once and never writes it to disk. Remote servers connect natively with OAuth.
