Continue is an open-source AI assistant for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Its MCP support means any conforming server extends what Continue's chat and autocomplete can reach. For teams that prefer open tooling but still want a managed document layer, 3meel fits cleanly.
What Continue picks up
- A query tool that returns the most relevant passages from your PDFs with citations.
- A listing tool so Continue can discover which knowledge bases and documents are available.
- Memory tools for saving preferences and recalling them across sessions.
- Standard MCP auth — an API key per developer, scoped to what they can see.
Setup
- Create a 3meel account and upload one or more PDFs.
- Generate an API key in Settings → API Keys.
- Edit ~/.continue/config.yaml and add 3meel under mcpServers.
- Reload Continue; your assistant now has document tools.
Why teams pick this combo
Continue lets teams bring their own model — OpenAI, Anthropic, a local model, whatever — and 3meel supplies the retrieval layer independent of that choice. Swap models, keep your knowledge base. Swap RAG providers in the future, keep Continue.
