Brings your team's Memlin workspace into Microsoft VS Code and GitHub Copilot
agent mode:
MCP tools — registers the Memlin MCP server (memlin_resolve_task and the
rest) via VS Code's native MCP API, so Copilot agent mode resolves live
project context instead of guessing. Requires VS Code 1.101 or newer.
One sign-in — Memlin: Sign In runs a device-flow login. The token is
stored in ~/.config/memlin/token.json and auto-refreshes. The same login
powers MCP tools and the memlin CLI.
Sync commands — Memlin: Pull / Push / Sync / Status / Doctor / Scribe / Inbox / Add project in the Command Palette.
Auto context — Memlin: Add resolver instructions to workspace writes a
thin bootstrap directive into .github/copilot-instructions.md so Copilot
loads Memlin context on every request.
Install
Download memlin-vscode.vsix from your workspace's Connect VS Code page.
VS Code → Command Palette → Extensions: Install from VSIX… → pick the file.
Reload, then run Memlin: Sign In.
Requires Node.js on your PATH (the bundled MCP server and CLI run under it).
What VS Code does not support
Plain VS Code exposes no agent lifecycle hooks or third-party slash commands,
so — unlike the Cursor / Claude Code plugins — there is no automatic
per-prompt resolve or stop-time scribe here. Use the memlin_resolve_task MCP
tool (or the copilot-instructions directive) for context, and the
Memlin: Capture session (Scribe) command to record decisions on demand.
