Introducing ByteRover Extension

publicly launched ByteRover Extension

ByteRover Extension is Live! 🚀

Hey developers! We’re excited to announce that the ByteRover Extension is now available on both the Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX Registry.

After weeks of diving deep into your feedback, one thing became crystal clear: the manual MCP configuration was so painfull. Seriously, who wants to wrestle with raw JSON configs just to connect their coding agent to ByteRover? And don’t even get me started on manually switching between memory workspaces when jumping between projects. We heard you loud and clear.

Why This Extension Changes Everything

Look, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is brilliant – it’s basically the USB-C of AI agents. But let’s be honest, setting up MCP connections has been a nightmare. Managing multiple MCP connections between clients and servers? Even worse.

Here’s what we’ve done to fix this mess:

First, we’ve made setup ridiculously simple. Install the byterover extension from your IDE marketplace, drop a config file in your project root, and you’re done. The extension handles all the connection magic behind the scenes.

Second, we’ve switched from STDIO to SSE (Server-Sent Events) for the ByteRover MCP server. This means way better handling of requests from your favorite MCP clients like Cursor and Windsurf, plus we can do all the heavy lifting in the background to give you the smoothest experience possible.
