Connect Vibgrate AI Context to Continue

Set up Vibgrate AI Context as an MCP server in the Continue extension so its AI reads your code map, drift, and version-correct library docs. A step-by-step guide.

Vibgrate Docs

Vibgrate Help

This guide connects Vibgrate AI Context — the local, offline MCP server — to Continue, the open-source AI coding assistant, so its answers are grounded in your real code map and version-correct docs.

It is for Continue users who want repository-aware, version-correct AI help.

Overview

Continue supports MCP servers. Vibgrate AI Context is an MCP server that serves version-correct library docs, your code map, and your drift, so connecting them lets Continue read grounded context on demand.

Step 1 — Start the server

From your project:

vg serve

The local context server starts and exposes its MCP tools. It runs on your machine, uploads nothing, and is offline after a one-time local model download for semantic search.

Step 2 — Register it in Continue

Continue reads its MCP server list from its configuration. Add Vibgrate AI Context as an MCP server there, pointing at the running vg serve process, following Continue's MCP setup documentation. Because the protocol is standard, the same server that works with Claude or Cursor works with Continue.

If you prefer not to edit configuration by hand and your toolchain is supported, vg install can write MCP wiring for several assistants:

vg install

Step 3 — Ask grounded questions

Once Continue sees the server, it can:

  • Pull version-correct docs for your lockfile versions via the Free Dev Docs Library.
  • Traverse the code map for callers, callees, and structure.
  • Read your DriftScore.

Keeping it current

vg build
vg status

Troubleshooting

  • Continue does not list the tools. Confirm the server is running and that Continue's MCP configuration points at it.
  • Stale answers. Rebuild the map with vg build.

1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.2.2 (3 majors behind)
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.11 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.10.0 (2 majors behind)
prisma: 5.22.0 → 7.10.0 (2 majors behind)
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
