VS Code MCP setup

General MCP connect patterns.

GitHub Copilot in VS Code supports MCP via a user or workspace MCP configuration file.

Open MCP settings

  • Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` / `Cmd+Shift+P`) → MCP: Open User Configuration
  • Or edit `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace

OAuth configuration

VS Code uses a top-level `servers` key (not `mcpServers`):

json
{
  "servers": {
    "chamelain": {
      "url": "https://your-mcp-host.example.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Enable tools in agent mode

  1. Open GitHub Copilot Chat.
  2. Switch to Agent mode.
  3. Ensure MCP tools are enabled for the workspace.

Reload the window after saving MCP settings. Complete browser OAuth when Copilot first invokes chamelAIn tools.
