Connect Visual Studio to Nodes2Cloud

Visual Studio 2022 17.14+ and 2026, in Copilot agent mode (Windows).

Visual Studio talks to the Nodes2Cloud MCP server at https://api.nodes2cloud.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP. Once connected, your agent can read the node catalogue, write and check workflows, and request deploys that wait for your approval by default.

Sign in with your browser (recommended)

No token to copy. When Visual Studio first connects, your browser opens so you can sign in to Nodes2Cloud and approve access.

Install in Visual Studio

Or add it to .mcp.json

json

GlobalWindows%USERPROFILE%\.mcp.json
ProjectWindows.mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "nodes2cloud": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.nodes2cloud.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If the file already exists, add the nodes2cloud entry under servers and keep what is already there.

Or let the installer write it

The n2c-mcp installer writes the same config into Visual Studio's config file for you. Add --print to see it without writing anything.

npx -y n2c-mcp@latest install --client visual-studio

Every flag is on the MCP setup page.
