📍 Navigation: Documentation Home | Server Guide | Getting started | Architecture | Installation | Configuration | Security | Customization | Client Guide

Visual Studio Code Co-pilot provides a simple and interactive way to test this server. Follow the instructions below to run and configure the server, set co-pilot to Agent mode, and use it.

Detailed instructions on configuring MCP server with Visual Studio Code can be found in Visual Studio Code documentation.

Using Streamable-http (recommended)

You can use uv or Docker to start the server.

Using uv, ensure that Streamable-http is enabled and the host port are defined. You can do this with setting the environment variables below or in the .env file):

export MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
export MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
export MCP_PORT=8001
export MCP_PATH=/mcp/

uv run teradata-mcp-server

Add the HTTP server in VS Code

  • Open the Command Palette (View>Command Palette)
  • select "MCP: Add Server"
  • select "HTTP or Server Sent Events"
  • enter URL for the location of the server e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp/
  • enter name of the server for the id (e.g. teradata-http)
  • select user space
  • the settings.json file should open
  • add the args so that it looks like:
   "mcp": {
        "servers": {
            "teradata-http": {
                "type": "http",
                "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp/"
            }
        }
    }
  • within the settings.json file or you can "MCP: Start Server"

Using stdio

To run the server with stdio set MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio in your .env file or via the MCP_TRANSPORT environment variable.

export MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio
uv run teradata-mcp-server

Add the server in VS Code:

  • Open the Command Palette (View>Command Palette)
  • select "MCP: Add Server"
  • select "Command Stdio"
  • enter "uv" at command to run
  • enter name of the server for the id
  • the settings.json file should open
  • modify the directory path and ensure it is pointing to where you have the server installed
  • add the args so that it looks like:

Note: you will need to modify the directory path in the args for your system, this needs to be a complete path. You may also need to have a complete path to uv in the command as well.

    "mcp": {
        "servers": {
            "teradataStdio": {
                "type": "stdio",
                "command": "uv",
                "args": [
                    "--directory",
                    "<Full Path>/teradata-mcp-server",
                    "run",
                    "teradata-mcp-server"
                ],
                "env": {
                    "DATABASE_URI": "teradata://username:password@host:1025/databasename"
                }
            }
        }
    }
  • you can start the server from within the settings.json file or you can "MCP: Start Server"
