        <Tip>
          Ideally, store the API Key in your password manager, so you can access it in the future.
        </Tip>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Configure the MCP Server">
        Press **Ctrl+Shift+P** (or **Cmd+Shift+P** on Mac) to open the Command Palette, type **"MCP: List Servers"** and press Enter

        <img alt="MCP List Servers command" src="https://mintcdn.com/ravenpackinternational/sRfxm3HR8wijX0FB/images/mcp/plugins/vs-code/vs-code-mcp-list.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=sRfxm3HR8wijX0FB&q=85&s=e38746f35952257698e74e3c15345d19" width="610" height="69" data-path="images/mcp/plugins/vs-code/vs-code-mcp-list.png" />

        And finally, edit the configuration file to add a header with your Bigdata API Key

        ```json theme={null}
        "headers": {
            "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
           }
        ```

      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ## Running Your First Analysis

    Once configured, you can immediately start running financial research workflows.

    ### Example: Generate an Earnings Call Preview

    In the VS Code Chat panel, type:

    ```
    Can you create an earnings call preview for C4 Therapeutics Inc?
    ```

    VS Code Chat will automatically identify the right **Skill** to help you create an Earnings Call Preview report.

    <img alt="Trigger earnings call skill" src="https://mintcdn.com/ravenpackinternational/sRfxm3HR8wijX0FB/images/mcp/plugins/vs-code/vs-code-trigger-earnings-call-skill.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=sRfxm3HR8wijX0FB&q=85&s=5f5dec1cdef15297d3a04189f756fb62" width="535" height="469" data-path="images/mcp/plugins/vs-code/vs-code-trigger-earnings-call-skill.png" />

    The plugin will search using the Bigdata MCP tools and generate your report with full source attribution.
