-Configure VS Code to connect to vMCP. Add the following to your `mcp.json` file:
-
-- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json`
-- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json`
-- **Linux**: `~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json`

-{
-  "servers": {
-    "demo-vmcp": {
-      "url": "http://localhost:4483/mcp",
-      "type": "http"
-    }
-  }
-}
+Add the port-forwarded vMCP endpoint as a remote server in ToolHive:
+
+```bash
+thv run http://localhost:4483/mcp --name demo-vmcp
 ```
 
-Reload VS Code to apply the configuration.
+This registers the vMCP endpoint as a ToolHive-managed workload, which
+automatically configures your registered MCP clients to connect to it.

-For other MCP clients, see the
-[Client compatibility reference](../reference/client-compatibility.mdx) for

+If you haven't set up client configuration yet, run `thv client setup` to
+register your MCP clients. See
+[Client configuration](../guides-cli/client-configuration.mdx) for more details.
