| How It Works**

This MCP server attempts to exercise all the features of the MCP protocol. It is not intended to be a useful server, but rather a test server for builders of MCP clients. It implements prompts, tools, resources, sampling, and more to showcase MCP capabilities.

Tools, Resources, Prompts, and Other Features

A complete list of the registered MCP primitives and other protocol features demonstrated can be found in the Server Features document.

Usage with Claude Desktop (uses stdio Transport)

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

``json
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"
]
}
}
}
`

For manual installation, you can configure the MCP server using one of these methods:

Method 1: User Configuration (Recommended)
Add the configuration to your user-level MCP configuration file. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and run MCP: Open User Configuration. This will open your user mcp.json file where you can add the server configuration.

Method 2: Workspace Configuration
Alternatively, you can add the configuration to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.

> For more details about MCP configuration in VS Code, see the official VS Code MCP documentation.
