Add the NVIDIA Elements MCP server to VS Code

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

  1. Open mcp.json

    Where the file is: .vscode/mcp.json

  2. Paste the server entry

    {
  "servers": {
    "nvidia-elements": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nvidia-elements/cli",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

  3. Check it’s connected

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