Manual config

Continue.dev supports MCP servers. Add Sigil with a one-line config in ~/.continue/config.json.

Setup

1. Run sigil register --print to get the correct config for your machine:

   sigil register --print

2. Open ~/.continue/config.json and add the sigil entry inside mcpServers:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "sigil": {
         "command": "/usr/local/bin/node",
         "args": ["/path/to/sigil/dist/server.js", "--mcp"],
         "env": { "DOTENV_CONFIG_PATH": "/Users/you/.sigil/.env" }
       }
     }
   }

3. Restart Continue. Sigil’s 9 tools are now available.

Nudging Continue to use memory

Add a note to your project’s .continuerc.json or system prompt:

Before answering questions about this project's architecture, decisions, or
preferences, call the Sigil `search` MCP tool.

CLI fallback

Continue also supports shell commands. If you have sigil on PATH, you can search and save from the terminal at any time:

sigil search "auth setup"
sigil remember "Continue found that we cache tokens in Redis with 1h TTL"
