VS Code
Connect Soil to VS Code in one click from the install page, or by adding an HTTP MCP server, then use the same four soil commands.
Connect
-
Fastest: open nativesoil.dev/install and click Add to VS Code (or open the Extensions view and search
@mcp). VS Code adds the server · sign in on first use. -
Manual alternative: run MCP: Add Server in the Command Palette, choose HTTP, and enter the Soil MCP URL:
https://mcp.nativesoil.dev/mcp/soil -
Sign in on first use · with Google, or with email and password · then run
soil infoto confirm. It returns your project and handover counts, which proves VS Code reached Soil and is authenticated.

The commands are the same in every client · same grammar, same account. You
type them in plain language in the conversation; the model calls the matching
Soil tool. @ says where, # says which:
soil save save this conversation as a graded handover

soil save #my-name @project add to a shared project · either order
soil list your handovers · soil list @project for a team
soil load #001 load by exact code · by name: soil load #my-thread
soil load @project whole-project restore · #NNN or #name for one thread
soil info your account status · the connection checkSave in this client, load in any other. See the soil commands for details and the reference for every form.
