Set up ESLint MCP in Continue

Run ESLint diagnostics, fix linting issues, and inspect ESLint configuration directly from your AI editor using the official ESLint MCP server.

Locate the config file

Continue reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

~/.continue/config.yaml

Create this file if it does not already exist.

Add the following to your Continue config file:

yaml

mcpServers:
  - name: eslint-mcp
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - @eslint/mcp

No environment variables needed. ESLint MCP works out of the box without any API keys or tokens.

Restart Continue. ESLint MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 4 tools available.

This server adds approximately 2,060 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
