Aiqbee for VS Code: Browse Brains and Connect MCP Without Leaving Your Editor

Most developers live in their editor. Tabbing over to a browser to find the right Brain, copy an MCP URL, and paste it into a config file breaks the flow. The Aiqbee MCP Brains extension for VS Code gets rid of that context switch.

Available now in public beta on the VS Code Marketplace, the extension brings your Brains, knowledge graphs, and MCP configuration directly into VS Code.

What You Can Do

Browse and Search Brains

A dedicated sidebar panel shows all Brains you have access to, with access level badges and live neuron counts. Create new Brains from templates without leaving your editor.

Visualise Knowledge Graphs

Open any Brain in a force-directed canvas graph right in an editor panel. Click neurons to view and edit their content. A stats bar and legend help you navigate complex knowledge structures at a glance.

One-Click MCP Connection

Connect any Brain to your AI coding assistant with a single click. The extension generates the correct MCP configuration for your tool of choice:

• Claude Code — writes to .mcp.json in your project root
• Cursor — writes to .cursor/mcp.json
• VS Code Copilot — writes to .vscode/mcp.json

No manual URL copying, no JSON editing, no wondering if you got the format right.

Built-in Developer Prompts

The Prompts tab includes 13 ready-made prompts designed for common developer workflows — from "explain this architecture" to "review this code against our standards". Copy any prompt with one click.

Why It Matters

A 50-neuron Brain saves roughly 25,000 tokens of restated context per conversation. Instead of pasting your README, architecture docs, and coding conventions into every session, your Brain serves that context through MCP. When someone on your team edits a neuron, every connected AI tool picks up the change. No commit cycle, no stale docs.

Authentication

Sign in with Microsoft Entra, Google, or email. Tokens are stored securely in VS Code's SecretStorage (OS keychain) with automatic refresh — no plaintext credentials, no manual token management.

Multi-Tool, Cross-Team

The extension works with any MCP-compatible AI tool from one place. Say marketing adds a requirement via the Aiqbee web app. Your AI coding assistant picks it up straight away via MCP. Nobody has to change how they work.
