Add the Claude Platform Docs MCP server to VS Code

Add the Claude Platform Docs entry the way VS Code’s own docs describe, fill in what it needs, then check it’s connected.

Paste the server entry

{
  "servers": {
    "anthropic-claude-platform-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://platform.claude.com/docs/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If the file already has servers, add the entry inside the existing object.

Check it’s connected

Restart or reload VS Code and look for anthropic-claude-platform-docs in its list of MCP servers. A server that needs sign-in opens it on first use.
