   "mcp": {
    
        "servers": {
            "mcp-server-exchange-1234": {
                "type": "stdio",
                "command": "python",
                "args": [
                    "/path/to/your/mcp_server_exchange.py"
                ]
            }
        }
    }
   

6. Save the settings.json file

Using the MCP Server Exchange Tool

Once you have configured the MCP server, follow these steps to use it:

1. In VS Code, switch to Agent Mode

   • Open Command Palette (Cmd + Shift + P on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux)
   • Type and select "Agent: Toggle Agent Mode"

2. Select the MCP Server Tool

   • Click on the "tools" button in the agent interface
   • Select "MCP Server: mcp-server-exchange-1234" from the list

3. Using the Currency Converter

   • Type your conversion request, for example: "convert 10 usd to euro"
   • The server will process the request with input:

     {
       "amount": 10
     }
     

   • The result will be displayed showing the converted amount in euros

Example: Input: "convert 10 usd to euro" Output: 11.50 EUR (based on the exchange rate of 1 USD = 1.15 EUR)

Note

Make sure to replace /path/to/your/mcp_server_exchange.py with the actual path to your MCP server implementation.
