VS Code — Chainstack is in the GitHub MCP Registry, so VS Code installs it for you. Two ways:
⇧⌘X / Ctrl+Shift+X), search @mcp chainstack, and click Install. Right-click and choose Install in Workspace to write .vscode/mcp.json instead of your user profile.Neither needs an API key, which covers every tool that works unauthenticated.
Anywhere else:
See full setup guide for all agents.
Listed in both public registries as com.chainstack/chainstack:
server.json is the manifest. Its version field is a placeholder — the publish workflow derives the real value from the live server card at mcp.chainstack.com, which renders it from the deployed chart, so the registry entry cannot drift from what is actually running. Query the registry, not this file, to see what is published.
