Use Vexly with VS Code

VS Code can connect to Vexly as a remote MCP server.

Prerequisites

export VEXLY_ACCESS_TOKEN='your_token_here'

Install with the VS Code CLI

code --add-mcp '{"name":"vexly","url":"https://api.vexly.io/api/v1/public/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${env:VEXLY_ACCESS_TOKEN}"}}'

Or Add It Manually

Put this in .vscode/mcp.json for a workspace-local setup:

{
  "servers": {
    "vexly": {
      "url": "https://api.vexly.io/api/v1/public/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:VEXLY_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify It Worked

  1. Open the Command Palette.
  2. Run MCP: List Servers.
  3. Confirm vexly is installed and connected.
  4. Use VS Code's chat or coding assistant workflow and ask it to call Vexly.

Example prompt:

Use Vexly to review last week's performance across all connected services and return the top 5 changes or risks. Wait for completion, and use a 180 second timeout.

Vexly MCP now waits up to 180 seconds by default before returning a pending run.
