# Continue.dev

To connect Flyweel MCP to **Continue.dev**, add a `streamable-http` MCP server to your Continue `config.yaml` with `url` set to `https://api.flyweel.co/functions/v1/mcp-server/mcp` and an `X-API-Key` header. Continue supports secret interpolation, so you can keep your token out of version control.

---

## Step 1: Get your API token[Link to this section](#step-1-get-your-api-token)

 1. Go to [app.flyweel.co](https://app.flyweel.co)
 1. Click **Settings** → **API & MCP**
 1. Under **Advanced: use an API key instead**, click **Generate API key** (or **Create Token** to name your own)
 1. Copy the `fwl_…` token once — it won’t be shown again

---

## Step 2: Open your Continue config[Link to this section](#step-2-open-your-continue-config)

Global config lives at `~/.continue/config.yaml`. Per-assistant config can also live in the Continue Hub.

---

## Step 3: Add Flyweel under mcpServers[Link to this section](#step-3-add-flyweel-under-mcpservers)


**

```
mcpServers:  - name: flyweel-mcp-server    type: streamable-http    url: https://api.flyweel.co/functions/v1/mcp-server/mcp    requestOptions:      timeout: 30000      headers:        X-API-Key: fwl_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
```

Replace `fwl_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE` with your token.

### Using secrets (recommended)[Link to this section](#using-secrets-recommended)

Keep the token out of the file by referencing a secret:


**

```
mcpServers:  - name: flyweel-mcp-server    type: streamable-http    url: https://api.flyweel.co/functions/v1/mcp-server/mcp    requestOptions:      headers:        X-API-Key: ${{ secrets.FLYWEEL_API_KEY }}
```

Set `FLYWEEL_API_KEY` in Continue’s secret store (Continue Hub, or `~/.continue/secrets`).

---

## Step 4: Reload Continue[Link to this section](#step-4-reload-continue)

Continue picks up config changes live. If tools do not appear, run **Continue: Reload** from the command palette.

---

## Step 5: Test it[Link to this section](#step-5-test-it)

In Continue’s chat, ask:


**

```
What Google Ads accounts do I have connected to Flyweel?
```

## Troubleshooting[Link to this section](#troubleshooting)

### YAML parse error[Link to this section](#yaml-parse-error)

Indentation mismatch. YAML is whitespace-sensitive.

**Fix:** Use exactly 2-space indentation and no tabs. Paste into a YAML linter if unsure.

### ”Authentication error”[Link to this section](#authentication-error)

Token is invalid, revoked, or malformed.

**Fix:** Regenerate at [app.flyweel.co](https://app.flyweel.co), then Settings → API & MCP.

### Tools not loading[Link to this section](#tools-not-loading)

Continue has not refreshed the tool list.

**Fix:** Reload the Continue extension, or restart VS Code / JetBrains.
