code --add-mcp '{"name":"serphouse","url":"https://mcp.serphouse.com/YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY/mcp","type":"http"}'Manual setup
Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and search for MCP: Open User Configuration. Add:
{
"servers": {
"serphouse": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.serphouse.com/YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY/mcp"
}
}
}Replace YOUR_SERPHouse_API_KEY with your actual SERPHouse API key in both methods.
