GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

AI pair programmer in VS Code with agent mode.

Setup

1. Create MCP config — Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project (or run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette for global setup).

2. Add the MCP server — Add the following to the file:

{
  "servers": {
    "secureauth": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://your-gateway-url/gateway/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Authenticate — A browser window will open for sign-in on first MCP tool use.

The agent is auto-registered on first connect.

Connecting to just one MCP? To stay under an agent's tool limit, point the URL at a single MCP — /gateway/mcp/{slug} instead of /gateway/mcp. Grab the exact URL from the resource's detail page; see Scope a connection to one MCP.
