Version
License: GPL v3
VSCode Extension
MCP Client

A powerful VS Code extension that lets you discover & install open‑source MCP servers and expose their tools to GitHub Copilot Chat.

✨ Features

  • 🔧 MCP Server Management – connect/manage multiple servers via an intuitive UI
  • 🚀 Copilot Integration – expose MCP tools directly to Copilot Chat
  • 🎯 Server Discovery – automatically discover searchable open‑source servers
  • Server Health Monitoring – real‑time status & connection checks
  • 🔄 Auto‑Reconnect – resilient MCP connections

📦 Installation

  1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace.
  2. Open MCP Servers in the Activity Bar, or configure in Settings.

Optional: Remote MCP (no local setup)

If you don’t want to run servers locally, use Cloud MCP (remote, OAuth‑only).
Paste the MCP URL into Copilot/Claude and you’re done:

🛠️ Configuration

Configure via the UI or VS Code settings. Look for the MCP Servers icon in the Activity Bar.

🚀 Usage

  1. Open the MCP Servers view
  2. Connect or search for servers
  3. Use Copilot Chat with your newly added tools

Tip: When a server supports npx/uvx, the Server Discovery panel shows a “Deploy via Cloud MCP” option so you can run it remotely without installing anything.

🔗 Requirements

  • VS Code
  • GitHub Copilot Chat extension

🌟 Benefits

  • Give Copilot standardized tools via MCP
  • Local or remote workflows (Cloud MCP)
  • Join a growing, interoperable ecosystem
