Connecting Pieces MCP to Continue.dev

Tool type: Open-source coding assistant (VS Code / JetBrains extension) Website: continue.dev Transport support: stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP

Agent mode required: MCP servers in Continue.dev only work in agent mode. They are not available in regular chat or plan modes.

Config File Location

Scope Path
Workspace .continue/config.yaml at project root (recommended — commit to version control)
Alternative JSON .continue/mcpServers/mcp.json

YAML Config Format

Continue.dev uses YAML with an mcpServers array.

Local Setup (Streamable HTTP — recommended)

Recommended when PiecesOS and Continue.dev are on the same machine.

mcpServers:
  - name: Pieces LTM
    type: streamable-http
    url: http://localhost:39300/model_context_protocol/2025-03-26/mcp

Local Setup (SSE)

mcpServers:
  - name: Pieces LTM
    type: sse
    url: http://localhost:39300/model_context_protocol/2024-11-05/sse

Remote Setup (ngrok)

Use this when Continue.dev is running on a different machine from PiecesOS. For setup, see: Connecting to PiecesOS from the Outside World via Ngrok.

mcpServers:
  - name: Pieces LTM
    type: streamable-http
    url: https://YOUR_NGROK_URL.ngrok.app/model_context_protocol/2025-03-26/mcp

JSON Config Format (Alternative)

If you prefer JSON, create .continue/mcpServers/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "Pieces LTM",
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:39300/model_context_protocol/2025-03-26/mcp"
    }
  ]
}

Updating

Edit your config.yaml (or JSON file), update the url, and switch to agent mode. Continue picks up the change on the next agent session.

Verification

  1. Switch Continue.dev to agent mode in the UI
  2. Check the available tools — Pieces LTM tools should appear
  3. Ask the agent to search your Long-Term Memory

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Tools not appearing Ensure you are in agent mode, not regular chat
YAML parse error Check indentation; YAML is whitespace-sensitive
Server not connecting Check PiecesOS port (39300-39333) and URL
Type value wrong Use streamable-http (with hyphen), not streamableHttp or http
