Get Started

Meet your team
in three steps.

They are already waiting. In the time it takes to read this page, you can have four AI specialists working inside your editor — with memory, opinions, and context that carry forward forever.

Node.js 18+ VS Code 1.93+ Claude Code CLI DocPro API Key
Installation

Three steps to the team.

The MCP server is the bridge between your editor and the team. Install it first — without it, nothing else works. The installer handles everything automatically on Windows.

1 Install the MCP Server

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run this command. Copy the one-liner from your DocPro Settings page — it includes your API key so there are no prompts.

irm https://anthropic.docpro.cloud/api/ide/download/installer/YOUR_API_KEY | iex

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key from DocPro Settings (starts with dp_), or copy the ready-made command from your Settings page.

Verify the installation: Open a terminal and run claude mcp list. If docpro-proxy appears, the MCP server is registered and ready.

Install Node.js 18+ and Claude Code CLI first, then configure the MCP server manually by adding this to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docpro-proxy": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/docpro-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DOCPRO_API_URL": "https://anthropic.docpro.cloud",
        "DOCPRO_API_KEY": "dp_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Clone the MCP server package from the DocPro marketplace listing, run npm install && npm run build, then replace the path and key above with your actual values. Restart VS Code.

2 Install the VS Code Extension

The automated installer handles this. If you need to install manually:

Open VS Code and press Ctrl+Shift+X (or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS). Search for DocPro, published by DocPro. Click Install.

After installation, restart VS Code completely. Look for the DocPro cube icon in the Activity Bar on the far left. Click it to open the sidebar, then enter your Server URL and API Key in Settings.

First run: Claude Code may ask you to trust the docpro-proxy MCP server. Click Allow. This only happens once.
3 Start Your First Session

Open a project folder in VS Code. In the DocPro sidebar, describe what you need — a new feature, a bug, an architecture question. Click Start Session.

Claude Code opens. Carl, Diana, Anthony, and Abish arrive. They have been briefed on your project, your preferences, and your context. They remember everything from the moment forward.

That is it. You have a team. They do not reset between sessions. They do not forget your name. The more you work with them, the sharper they get.
If something goes wrong

Troubleshooting.

Common issues and how to resolve them. If none of these help, start a troubleshooting session — the team will diagnose it with you.

Run claude mcp list in your terminal. If docpro-proxy is missing, the MCP server is not registered. Re-run the installer from your Settings page — it is safe to run multiple times and will reconfigure everything cleanly:

irm https://anthropic.docpro.cloud/api/ide/download/installer/YOUR_API_KEY | iex

After re-running, close and reopen VS Code completely. Then verify again with claude mcp list.

Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS), type Reload Window, and press Enter. If the icon still does not appear, uninstall the DocPro extension from the Extensions panel and reinstall it from the VS Code Marketplace.

Confirm the extension is installed: open the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X) and search for DocPro. It should show as installed with publisher DocPro.

Your API key may be expired or disabled. Go to Settings in DocPro and regenerate your IDE API Key. Copy the new key and update it in the DocPro sidebar Settings panel, then click Save.

If you do not see an API Key in Settings, your administrator may need to enable IDE access for your account.

Verify you can open https://anthropic.docpro.cloud in your browser. If the page loads but the extension cannot connect, you may be behind a VPN or corporate firewall that blocks outbound WebSocket connections.

Check that your network allows connections to anthropic.docpro.cloud on ports 443 and 80.

Run node --version to check your current version. The MCP server requires Node.js 18 or later. Download the latest LTS version from nodejs.org.

After updating Node.js, re-run the installer to ensure the MCP server is compiled against the correct version.

The automated PowerShell installer is Windows-only. For macOS and Linux, install Node.js 18+ and the Claude Code CLI first, then follow the manual configuration shown under Step 1 above.

After editing ~/.claude.json, restart VS Code and verify with claude mcp list. The process is the same from Step 2 onward.

Once they know you, every session starts from where you left off. The context does not disappear. The preferences do not reset. The team gets sharper every time you show up.
