SwarmCraft keeps docs public, but project and board workflows are authenticated. Before you build anything, complete the sign-in and MFA setup flow.
Start in the web app
Create your account and finish the MFA enrollment flow in the SwarmCraft web app first.

That matters because the VS Code extension can complete an MFA challenge for enrolled accounts, but it does not handle first-time MFA enrollment.
Then sign in from VS Code
Once MFA is enrolled:
- Open the SwarmCraft activity-bar view in VS Code.
- Run
SwarmCraft: Sign In. - Complete the MFA challenge if prompted.


The extension stores the access token in VS Code secret storage rather than committing anything into your repository.
If the extension cannot finish sign-in
Go back to the web app and confirm MFA enrollment is complete. Most failed first-time sign-ins happen because the account is trying to challenge before enrollment is finished.
After sign-in is working, continue with Connect SwarmCraft to your project.
