VS Code

VS Code works with Flyweel MCP through the Continue extension, which adds AI capabilities with MCP support.

Prerequisites

Install the Continue extension first:

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
3. Search for “Continue”
4. Install the Continue extension

Quick Setup

Step 1: Get Your Token

1. Go to app.flyweel.co
2. Click Settings → API Tokens
3. Click Create New Token
4. Name it (e.g., “VS Code - Work”)
5. Click Generate and copy it immediately

Your token looks like: fwl_a1b2c3d4...

Step 2: Configure Continue

Open or create the Continue configuration file:

macOS/Linux:

~/.continue/config.json

Windows:

%USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.json

Add the Flyweel MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "flyweel",
      "url": "https://api.flyweel.co/mcp-server/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "fwl_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Replace fwl_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your actual token.

Step 3: Reload VS Code

Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux), then type “Reload Window” and press Enter.

Step 4: Test It

Open the Continue sidebar and ask:

What Google Ads accounts do I have connected to Flyweel?

If you see your accounts, you’re connected.

Troubleshooting

”Authentication Error”

Your token is invalid or deleted.

Fix: Generate a new token at app.flyweel.co → Settings → API Tokens.

”No accounts found”

You haven’t connected ad accounts to Flyweel.

Fix: Go to Settings → Connections in Flyweel and connect your Google Ads or Meta Ads.

Continue doesn’t see Flyweel

The config file isn’t loading correctly.

Fix:

1. Verify the file is at the correct location
2. Check JSON syntax at jsonlint.com
3. Make sure mcpServers is an array [] not an object {}
4. Reload VS Code window
