# Configure Recallium in VS Code

> Authenticate the Recallium MCP server in VS Code

The installer adds the Recallium MCP server to VS Code. Before your agent can use it, you start the server and sign in.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the MCP server list">
    Open the Command Palette with **Cmd+Shift+P** on macOS or **Ctrl+Shift+P** on Windows and Linux. Run **MCP: List Servers**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start recallium">
    Select **recallium**, then select **Start Server**. If VS Code asks whether you trust the server, confirm it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in">
    When VS Code asks to authenticate the server, select **Allow**. Complete the sign-in in your browser.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also run **MCP: Open User Configuration** and select **Auth** above the `recallium` entry. Use this to sign in again later.
</Tip>

Next, [confirm the connection](/guides/configure-ides#confirm-the-connection).
