About GenAIScript MCP Demo

What is GenAIScript MCP Demo: Streamline AI, Boost Performance?

GenAIScript MCP Demo is your one-stop playground to harness the power of AI models—both local and remote—through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Think of it as the Swiss Army knife for developers wanting to standardize AI integration without wrestling with messy setup processes. This demo showcases how GenAIScript acts as an MCP server, making it easier to connect your apps to AI models like plugging in a USB drive.

How to use GenAIScript MCP Demo: Streamline AI, Boost Performance?

Let’s dive into the trenches: Start by installing the VSCode extension (Node.js v20 required) and configuring the mcp.json file. With a quick JSON setup, you can spin up the MCP server locally—no manual repo cloning needed! For the lazy dev in you, the --remote flag auto-fetches dependencies, saving you time for more important tasks like brewing coffee. Launch the server via VSCode’s interface and watch Copilot magically tap into your configured tools.

GenAIScript MCP Demo 🚀

This repository demonstrates the MCP Server capabilities of GenAIScript. The minimum version you need is 1.119.4

What is GenAIScript? 🤖

GenAIScript is a framework that enables you to communicate with AI models (even local models). GenAIScript can use MCP tools, and can also act as the MCP server.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) 📋

This is how Anthropic, the creators of MCP specification, defines Model Context Protocol

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

Installation of GenAIScript 🛠️

Install the VSCode extension. You need at least Node.js v20. Refer to https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/getting-started/installation/ additional instructions.

Usage 💻

If you install the March 2025 version of VSCode Insiders, you should be able to run the GenAIScript MCP server locally, to get the tool versions installed on your local machine.

mcp.json is where you would configure the MCP servers. Below is the sample configuration on Windows. You don't even need to clone this repo with this approach, as GenAIScript can clone the repo in the background for you to just use the tools. If you are using the --remote flag, you don't need to install the GenAIScript extension at all.
