Connect Continue

Add looot to Continue as a streamable-http MCP server. Agent mode only.

Continue is an open-source assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. MCP servers are available in agent mode only.

Before you start you need a looot account. The runs you make spend the organization’s balance, so top up before your first paid run. See Before your first run.

Steps

1. Create .continue/mcpServers/looot.yaml in your workspace, or add the block to .continue/config.yaml.
2. Switch Continue to agent mode and reload the config.

name: looot
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1
mcpServers:
  - name: looot
    type: streamable-http
    url: https://api.looot.ai/mcp

The server URL is https://api.looot.ai/mcp.

Sign-in

Continue’s MCP page does not describe a browser sign-in for remote servers, so OAuth sign-in is not confirmed for this client. If the server answers 401, either bridge the sign-in through mcp-remote, or create an agent token in Settings and inject it with Continue’s secrets support (${{ secrets.LOOOT_TOKEN }}). Never commit the token.

Check it works

Ask Continue to call balance or catalog_overview. Both are free. A working connection answers with your available balance, or the catalog’s categories and job counts.

A first prompt to try

Ask looot for my balance, then search its catalog for a tool that finds a work email from a name and company domain, and show me the price before running anything.

Troubleshooting

• No tools appear: you are not in agent mode.
• Standalone files in .continue/mcpServers/ need the name, version and schema header lines.
• A 401 means the client sent no token; see the OAuth note.
• Still stuck: see Troubleshooting.

What you see when you connect

If the client uses browser sign-in, it opens looot.ai and shows the consent page: which organization to bill, which scopes to grant and how long to stay connected. See The consent page.
