Neotoma with Continue

Continue is an open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. It supports MCP servers via ~/.continue/config.json, which makes connecting it to Neotoma straightforward.

Install Neotoma

npm install -g neotoma
neotoma init
neotoma auth login

Auto-configure with neotoma setup

neotoma setup --tool continue --yes

This writes the Neotoma MCP server entry into ~/.continue/config.json and verifies the connection. Reload your IDE window after setup completes.

Manual configuration

If you prefer to configure manually, add to ~/.continue/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neotoma": {
      "command": "neotoma",
      "args": ["mcp", "stdio"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Use the absolute path to neotoma if the binary is not on PATH from your IDE's launch environment (which neotoma to find it).

Remote access

To connect Continue to a remote or tunneled Neotoma instance:

neotoma api start --env prod --tunnel

Then use the URL transport in config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neotoma": {
      "url": "https://<tunnel-host>/mcp"
    }
  }
}

See tunnel for the full tunnel setup guide.

Verify the connection

After reloading, Neotoma tools (store, retrieve_entities, retrieve_entity_by_identifier) should appear in Continue's Context Providers → MCP section. Ask Continue to call retrieve_entities to confirm live access.
