copilot-mcp

> A powerful VS Code extension that lets you discover, install, and manage open‑source MCP servers and agent skills from one place.

✨ Features

• 🔧 MCP Server Management – connect/manage multiple servers via an intuitive UI
• 🧠 Skills Search & Install – discover skills from `skills.sh` and install to your agents
• 🗂️ Installed Skills Management – view installed skills and uninstall with agent-level controls
• 🚀 Claude/Codex/Copilot Integration – expose MCP tools directly to your agents
• 🎯 Server Discovery – automatically discover open‑source servers

📦 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. Switch to Skills to search and install skills, and manage installed skills

4. Use Copilot Chat with your newly added tools and skills

> 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

Telemetry

Copilot MCP collects a small set of anonymous usage events — searches, install attempts, and clicks on in-extension links/CTAs — so we can understand which features are useful.

• What is collected: anonymous event names with a small set of properties: the search terms you type in the extension (sidebar search and `@mcp` chat prompts, truncated to 100 characters), public GitHub repository names/URLs and skill source locators for items you search for or act on, your OS platform/architecture and the extension version, and error messages/diagnostics (truncated) when something fails.
• What is never collected: file contents, workspace or repository contents, or account identifiers (no emails, usernames, or tokens) — account-shaped properties are stripped out before anything is sent.
• VS Code settings are respected: the extension honors VS Code's `telemetry.telemetryLevel` setting. If you have disabled telemetry in VS Code, the extension sends nothing.

To opt out, set `telemetry.telemetryLevel` to `off` in your VS Code settings.
