How to Use the Gitee MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I set up Gitee for my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Gitee MCP server config. When your team opens the project in VS Code, Copilot will automatically detect the server and enable tools like listrepocommits.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read Gitee code files?

Yes, VS Code Copilot can use the getfilecontent tool to fetch files from Gitee. This lets the agent analyze remote code structures and compare them with your local changes.

Share Gitee repository access across VS Code Copilot

VS Code Copilot uses `list_user_repos` to let developers browse team projects without manually configuring individual API clients. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, your entire engineering team gets access to Gitee MCP tools. The agent uses `get_repo` to fetch metadata for any team project. This keeps everyone aligned on repository settings, branches, and permissions directly within their shared VS Code workspace.

Automate Gitee pull requests in VS Code Copilot

Developers can manage their code reviews by asking VS Code Copilot to call `list_pull_requests`. The agent displays active reviews, allowing team members to discuss changes without leaving their primary development environment. When a feature is complete, the agent calls `create_pull_request` to initiate the review process on Gitee. This automation reduces context switching and speeds up the team's deployment pipeline.

Track Gitee issues with this MCP Server

Your team can triage bugs by querying `list_repo_issues` inside VS Code Copilot. The agent analyzes the issues, maps them to local files, and helps developers plan their daily tasks based on real-time Gitee data. If a developer spots a new bug during testing, they can instruct the agent to run `create_issue`. This logs the bug on Gitee immediately, ensuring that feedback is captured before the developer moves on to another task.

Setup guide

Set up Gitee 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.
