BridgeTek BT820 MCP Server

Official Visual Studio Code integration for the @bridgetek/bt820-mcp-server package.

The extension makes BT820 EveApps tools available to Codex and GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code. It can search BT820 APIs, commands, registers, and local EveApps samples, as well as help generate and validate BT820 code.

Supported AI agents

• Codex
• GitHub Copilot

Getting started

1. Install the extension and open your local EveApps repository in VS Code.
2. If EveApps is not the first workspace folder, run BT820: Select EveApps Repository from the Command Palette.
3. Open Codex or GitHub Copilot Chat in agent mode.
4. Ask the AI agent to connect to the BridgeTek BT820 MCP server. For example: Connect to the BT820 MCP server.
5. Follow the AI agent's instructions to start, trust, or enable the MCP server and its tools when prompted.
6. Ask the agent a BT820 question to confirm the connection. For example: What BT820 tools do you have?

Here is an example prompt you can try to create a new project:

Please create a new EVE application project under SampleApp that demonstrates an on-screen keyboard on a 1920 x 1200 LCD and connects to the PC through FT4222.

The npm server and its indexed BT820 data are bundled with the extension. A global npm installation is not required.

Setting

• bridgetekBt820.eveAppsPath: path to a local EveApps repository. It may be absolute or relative to the first workspace folder. When empty, the first workspace folder is used.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code 1.125.0 or newer.
• A local checkout of the EveApps repository for project-aware source and sample searches.

Troubleshooting

Run MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette and select BridgeTek BT820 to view its status, output, or restart the server after changing the repository path.
