BifrostMCP

Open VS Code and install the Bifrost MCP extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. Search for 'Bifrost MCP' by ConnorHallman.

Open the project folder you want to expose to your AI assistant. Bifrost starts an MCP server automatically when the extension activates. The server runs on port 8008 by default.

If you have multiple VS Code windows or want a project-specific port, create a bifrost.config.json in the project root. This isolates projects and avoids port conflicts.

{
  "projectName": "MyProject",
  "description": "Description of your project",
  "path": "/my-project",
  "port": 5642
}

For Cursor, add the SSE URL directly to your MCP configuration. Newer versions of Cursor support the url shorthand.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Bifrost": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8008/sse"
    }
  }
}

Cline requires the supergateway bridge to connect to SSE-based MCP servers. Install supergateway via npx and add the following config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Bifrost": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "supergateway", "--sse", "http://localhost:8008/sse"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": [],
      "timeout": 600
    }
  }
}

Use the VS Code command palette to manually start or inspect the server. Open the Debug Panel to test available tools.
