Connect GitHub Copilot in VS Code

Steps checked against the VS Code documentation on September 24, 2026.

One-click install

Install in VS Code

Opens VS Code with the Copyfy server ready to install.

Install in VS Code Insiders

Same, for the Insiders build.

Install

Click the card, let your browser open VS Code, and click Install on the Copyfy server page.

When VS Code says the Copyfy server wants to authenticate, click Allow. Sign in to Copyfy in your browser and click Allow access on the Copyfy consent screen.

Use agent mode

Open Copilot Chat, select Agent in the agent picker, and ask: “Use Copyfy to find 10 winning products in the Pets niche for the US.” You can turn individual Copyfy tools on or off with Configure Tools.

You can also install from a terminal:

Terminal

code --add-mcp '{"name":"copyfy","type":"http","url":"https://app.copyfy.io/mcp"}'

Manual setup with mcp.json

Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette to add Copyfy for all workspaces, or create .vscode/mcp.json in a workspace. The top-level key is servers.

OAuth (recommended)
API key

mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "copyfy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.copyfy.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code prompts for the API key once and stores it securely, so it never appears in the file:

mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "copyfy-key",
      "description": "Copyfy API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "copyfy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.copyfy.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:copyfy-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Fallback

Copy the URL https://app.copyfy.io/mcp, run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP, paste the URL, and name the server copyfy.

Disconnect

Remove Copyfy from mcp.json, or run MCP: List Servers, select Copyfy, and uninstall it. Sign-ins are listed in the Accounts menu. To revoke access from the Copyfy side, click Revoke under Connected apps or revoke the key on the Integrations page. Having trouble? See Troubleshooting.
