agent: mcp

When does this happen?

IF I want to add an MCP server to VS Code for use with Copilot and need to configure it.

How others solved it

THEN Add the server configuration to either the user-level mcp.json (via Command Palette 'MCP: Open User Configuration') or a workspace-level .vscode/mcp.json file. Use NPX or Docker as the command, selecting the appropriate one-click install button or manual JSON entry.

{
  "servers": {
    "everything": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything"]
    }
  }
}
