# VS Code + Continue

EasyNode x402 gives VS Code + Continue tools for browsing VPS and blockchain node products on EasyNode, purchasing with USDC on Base via x402 payments, managing instances, and decrypting credentials — all from your editor.

<Note>
  Continue supports **local MCP servers only**. For remote server access, use [VS Code Copilot](/clients/all-clients) or another client with remote support.
</Note>

## Installation

<Tip>
  Run `npx @easynodexyz/mcp-x402 setup` first to configure env variables
</Tip>

Add to your Continue configuration (`~/.continue/config.json`):

```json theme={null}
{
  "experimental": {
    "modelContextProtocolServers": [
      {
        "transport": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@easynodexyz/mcp-x402"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

### Verifying the Connection

Restart VS Code to load the MCP server through Continue.

## Using EasyNode x402

Once connected, you can ask the agent to use EasyNode tools directly:

```
> List available VPS products

> Purchase a 1-month VPS-S1 plan

> Show me my active instances

> What are the connection details for instance abc123?

> Renew my VPS instance for 3 months
```

### Configuration

| Variable               | Required | Default | Description                  |
| ---------------------- | -------- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| `EASYNODE_PRIVATE_KEY` | Yes      | —       | Wallet private key (`0x...`) |
| `EASYNODE_MAX_PAYMENT` | No       | `100`   | Max USDC per transaction     |

Run `npx @easynodexyz/mcp-x402 setup` to store your key in `~/.easy-node/.env` instead of setting system environment variables. Environment variables override values in `~/.easy-node/.env`.
