Use Mnem with VS Code
Copilot Chat that remembers: Mnem's tools plug into VS Code's MCP support for agent mode.
What you get
- Memory tools in Copilot Chat's agent mode, across all workspaces
- One memory shared with your other editors and assistants
- Optional auto-capture — opt-in, per app
Connect
One-click setup from the Connections panel.
-
Open Connections
Click the Mnem menu-bar icon and open the Connections panel.
-
Connect VS Code
Click Connect. Mnem adds itself to your user-level MCP configuration so it works in every workspace.
-
Enable MCP if needed
On some setups you must enable MCP support in VS Code settings (search for “MCP” and ensure it's turned on), then reload the window.
-
Verify
Open Copilot Chat in agent mode and check the tools picker for
mnem.
Troubleshooting
MCP tools are used by agent mode, not plain ask mode — switch modes if tools seem missing. You'll need a recent VS Code with Copilot Chat; corporate policy can also disable MCP, which shows up as an empty tools list.
