The MCP config (same for all IDEs)

Only the file path and how you add it differs per IDE. The JSON config block is identical:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "veilguard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--package=veilguard", "veilguard-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VEILGUARD_KEY": ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Leave VEILGUARD_KEY empty for free tier. Add your key for Pro.
