MCP server (all AI tools)
The extension also auto-configures Runic as an MCP server so any AI tool in your workspace (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) can call the skills directly.
VS Code — adds .vscode/mcp.json
Cursor — adds ~/.cursor/mcp.json
Run Runic: Configure MCP Server from the Command Palette to re-run setup.
Requirements
- VS Code 1.90+
- GitHub Copilot (for
@runic /skill-namein chat) - Node.js 18+ (for the MCP server)
