In VS Code: open the Augment panel → Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server:
{ "name": "agent-mcp-studio", "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/bridge.js", "wss://agentmcp.studio/api/relay/YOUR-UUID" ] }Augment will connect to bridge.js and list the available tools.
Use tools in Augment Chat
Open Augment Chat and ask it to use your tools. Because Augment understands your full codebase, combining MCP tools with codebase context creates powerful workflows — for example: "Look at our database schema and use the query_database tool to check if the migration matches."
