How to Set Up and Use Agentic Tools
Agentic Tools MCP Companion is a VS Code extension that provides a visual GUI interface for the agentic-tools-mcp server, enabling developers to manage tasks and memories directly inside VS Code with unlimited hierarchy depth (projects → tasks → subtasks → infinite nesting), priority and complexity scoring, time tracking, and tag management. The companion extension stores all data in a local .agentic-tools-mcp directory in your workspace, making it git-trackable and shareable. It pairs with the @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp npm package, which is the actual MCP server that Claude and other AI assistants use to read and write the same task and memory data.
Prerequisites
- VS Code 1.96.0 or higher
- Node.js 18 or higher
- An open workspace folder in VS Code
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop for AI assistant integration
- The @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp npm package (for AI assistant tool access)

Open the VS Code Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for 'Agentic Tools MCP Companion', and click Install. Alternatively install from Open VSX.
Open a workspace folder

Install the MCP server package globally
Install the companion MCP server that Claude and other AI assistants will use to interact with your tasks and memories.
npm install -g @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcpConfigure Claude Desktop to use the MCP server

Create your first project in VS Code
Click the '+' button in the Tasks view in the Agentic Tools sidebar to create a project, then add tasks and subtasks by right-clicking on items.
Verify data storage
All task and memory data is written to .agentic-tools-mcp/ in your workspace root. You can commit this directory to git to track changes alongside your code.
ls .agentic-tools-mcp/
# tasks/tasks.json
# memories/general/Agentic Tools Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config to connect the agentic-tools MCP server, giving Claude access to the same task and memory data managed by the VS Code extension.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for using the agentic-tools MCP server through Claude to manage tasks and memories in your workspace.
- "List all my current tasks and their status"
- "Create a new task 'Implement authentication' with high priority (8) under the Backend API project"
- "Mark the 'Setup development environment' task as complete"
- "Save a memory about my preferred code style: use 2-space indentation and semicolons in TypeScript"
- "What tasks are currently blocked and what are their dependencies?"Troubleshooting Agentic Tools
The Agentic Tools sidebar does not appear in VS Code
The extension requires an open workspace folder. Make sure you have opened a folder (File → Open Folder), not just a single file. Reload the VS Code window after opening a folder.
Claude cannot see tasks created in the VS Code extension
Both the VS Code extension and the MCP server read from .agentic-tools-mcp/ in the workspace root. Make sure Claude Desktop is configured to run @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp and that the working directory matches your workspace. Restart Claude Desktop after updating the config.
npm install -g @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp fails with permission errors
Use a Node.js version manager like nvm to avoid permission issues with global installs. Alternatively, use npx in the Claude Desktop config instead of a global install: npx -y @pimzino/agentic-tools-mcp.
