How to Use the Bybit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Bybit MCP Server configuration in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root and commit it to your Git repository. Once committed, any team member using VS Code 1.96 or higher with Copilot in Agent mode can access the tools. Copilot manages the MCP Server connection on startup.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot fetch real-time Bybit orderbook depth?

Yes. Copilot calls the getorderbook tool to pull current bids and asks straight into your workspace. This helps your team write and test market-making algorithms with real liquidity metrics.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle Bybit symbol filtering?

Copilot uses the gettickers tool to filter market tickers by symbol or base coin. You can ask Copilot to find the current price of a specific symbol or list all active spot pairs instantly.

Share live Bybit market data tools across your entire engineering team directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Commit Bybit MCP Server Tools to Your Team Repo

The `get_instruments` tool lets your development team query active Bybit trading pairs directly inside VS Code Copilot. By committing the server setup to your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every engineer on the team gets instant access to the exchange's specifications, giving everyone the same MCP tools automatically. This shared configuration ensures everyone writes code against the same active symbols. Copilot references the live instrument specifications to autocomplete configuration files and trading schemas without manual lookup.

Track Exchange Funding Rates in VS Code Copilot

The `get_funding_history` tool brings actual Bybit funding rate histories straight into your VS Code Copilot terminal chat. Your team can analyze long-to-short payment patterns on linear and inverse perpetual contracts during code reviews. Using these metrics, Copilot helps your team write accurate balance-tracking algorithms. The agent writes tests using real historical rates to verify how your software handles Bybit funding fee deductions over time.

Analyze Order Flow and Liquidations in VS Code

The `get_recent_trades` tool streams recent executed transactions from Bybit directly into VS Code Copilot for rapid debugging. Engineers can inspect raw trade sizes and buy/sell sides to verify how their order-matching systems process high-frequency feed inputs. By cross-referencing this with the `get_mark_price_kline` tool, Copilot helps you build accurate liquidation engines. Your team debugs margin calculations using the exact mark prices Bybit uses for liquidations.

Setup guide

Set up Bybit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2
