VS code instructions seem outdated. #12

We tried the VS code instructions and it seems these are a bit outdated per Copilot agent:


Based on the error message, it appears that VS Code now uses a dedicated MCP configuration system rather than adding MCP servers directly to the user settings.json file.

Here's what you should do instead:

Open VS Code Settings: Go to Code > Preferences > Settings (or press Cmd+,)

Search for MCP: In the search bar, type "mcp"

Find MCP Server Configuration: Look for "Model Context Protocol server configurations" setting

Click "Edit in settings.json": There should be a link or button to edit the MCP configuration in a dedicated settings file

Add the server configuration: In that dedicated MCP configuration file (not your user settings.json), add:

{
  "mcp-dataverse": {
    "type": "sse",
    "url": "https://mcp.dataverse.org/sse"
  }
}
