RASON Cloud and MCP Settings
The MCP Server includes a small set of commands and settings that control how RASON Desktop connects to the RASON platform and handles results. These are accessed within Visual Studio Code through the Command Palette or the Extensions settings. The most important setting is the authentication token, which enables cloud-based features such as solving models and managing them in your RASON account.
Commands
These commands configure and manage your connection to the RASON platform directly from Visual Studio Code. They are accessed through the Command Palette and are primarily used for setting or clearing your authentication token, opening extension settings, and switching solver modes.
