The server is connected; a restart is usually not required.

Where the config lives

VS Code stores MCP servers in your user settings.json (global) or .vscode/mcp.json in a workspace (that project only). The install link adds the user-level entry.

Project vs global scope

User settings apply everywhere; a workspace .vscode/mcp.json scopes the server to that project and can be shared via git.

Verify it works

Open the MCP view in VS Code — the server appears once it connects. Hover it to see its tools.

If the tools don’t appear

· Restart VS Code fully (not just the window).
· Check the command/config for typos; validate the JSON if applicable.
· Make sure Node.js or uv is installed (for npx/uvx servers).
· Check VS Code’s logs — the server may have crashed on start (missing env var, bad token).

How many servers is too many

Every connected server adds its tools to the model’s context. Past ~40–60 tools, selection accuracy drops. Keep only the servers you use enabled, or reach the whole catalog through a gateway — one connection instead of dozens.

Removing Agent Droid Bridge

Delete the server from settings.json (or .vscode/mcp.json), or disable it in the MCP view.

FAQ

Do I need to edit JSON by hand?

No. In VS Code it's a command or a deep-link; on Unyly the Install button writes the config for you.

Where is the VS Code config file?

VS Code keeps MCP servers in its own settings — installing via command/button means you never touch a file by hand.

The MCP isn’t showing up — what do I do?

Restart VS Code, check the command/config for typos, and make sure Node.js / a package runner is installed if the server runs via npx/uvx.

How do I update Agent Droid Bridge?

Servers run via npx/uvx pull the latest version on launch. Otherwise, reinstall the same way.

Is it safe to install Agent Droid Bridge?

An MCP server runs with your client’s permissions and access to its data. Install it with the same caution as any npm package: check the source and keep secrets in env. Verified servers on Unyly have passed a security scan.

Does Agent Droid Bridge cost anything?

Browsing and installing on Unyly is free. The server itself may need a third-party API key — that’s billed by the service, not by Unyly.

Can I use Agent Droid Bridge in ChatGPT or claude.ai?

Not directly: Agent Droid Bridge is a local (stdio) server, and ChatGPT/claude.ai only accept remote MCPs. Use the Unyly gateway to expose local servers as one remote endpoint.
