VS Code

Install Namera and complete account setup on the machine that will run the client. Make sure its process can find both namera and Node.js.

Add NameraCopy Anchor Link

In your workspace, create or edit .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "namera": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "namera",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve", "--profile", "vscode"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers, in this file. Use the editor's Start control above the server entry and approve server trust when prompted. See VS Code's MCP configuration.

Merge this entry into your existing configuration without removing other servers or settings. If namera cannot be found, use its absolute executable path.

AuthorizeCopy Anchor Link

namera mcp login --profile vscode
namera mcp status --profile vscode

Approve the connection in your browser and select the active session keys it may use. Run these commands as the same OS user that runs the client. Namera saves the connection in your OS keyring; no API key belongs in the client config.

If you use a remote workspace, confirm where VS Code launches the server. Namera must have its installation, keyring, and browser-login access in that environment. Start with a local workspace if those are unavailable remotely.

Use NameraCopy Anchor Link

Open agent chat and enable Namera's tools in the tools picker. MCP access may be restricted by your organization's VS Code policies.

Ask in a new conversation:

Use Namera to list my accounts and session keys. Summarize their networks and permissions. Do not submit a transaction or sign a message.

Allow the read tools if prompted. If Namera requests browser authorization, complete it and retry the read request. An empty result means no resources were returned for this connection; do not ask the agent to invent account details.

Keep tool confirmations enabled for execution and signing where supported. See Permissions and Limits before granting broader access.

DisconnectCopy Anchor Link

namera mcp logout --profile vscode

Also remove or disable the namera server in the client to stop it launching. Logout revokes the MCP connection without deleting imported keys. If revocation fails, revoke the connection in the dashboard as instructed by the error.
