# Use Veezee from VS Code - Veezee

Veezee is 17 tools across LinkedIn, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter): profile and company lookups, people search, discussion search, recency sweeps, and a free usage meter, all on one connection. Start free, no signup, no card: hosts that support MCP sign-in connect with zero keys, and everything else self-mints a free key in one call. Either way you run under a shared free per-IP daily budget of 200 credits a day.

## Setup

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json` (project) or via the Command Palette > "MCP: Add Server":

```
{
  "servers": {
    "veezee": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.veezee.io/all?src=integrations" }
  }
}
```

(Top-level key is `servers`, and `"type": "http"` is required.) Or one terminal command:

```
code --add-mcp '{"name":"veezee","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.veezee.io/all?src=integrations"}'
```

VS Code implements the MCP authorization spec, so the first connection opens a Veezee sign-in in your browser (email code, no password, no card); approving it connects the account, zero keys involved. The tools then work in Copilot agent mode (Chat > Agent). Headless or remote, where no browser opens: mint a free key (`curl -s -X POST https://api.veezee.io/v1/keys/mint`, no body, shown once) and use `"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <the minted key>" }` in the server entry instead. When the free daily budget runs short, buy credits at [/upgrade](/upgrade): checkout credits the same key.

## What to try first

- "Look up the LinkedIn profile for williamhgates and summarize their current role."
- "Search Reddit for what people are saying about a topic you care about, and summarize the sentiment."
- "Search X for the most recent posts about a topic you care about."

## Confirm it works

Ask your agent: "Fetch the LinkedIn profile for williamhgates and tell me the credit cost from the response envelope." A working connection returns the profile plus a credit cost in one round trip.
