Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Apiary data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent fetch the exact mock server endpoints for one of my APIs?

Yes. You can use the get_doc_url capability to retrieve both the public facing documentation url and the private mock server endpoint string. Your agent can immediately use this url to simulate requests internally using other modules or tests.

Am I able to update the Blueprint markup completely through the agent?

Absolutely. Instruct your AI agent to fetch the blueprint with get_api. Once read into context, prompt the agent to make your desired changes (e.g. 'Add a new POST route for user creation'). Then, instruct it to use publish_blueprint to upload the newly revised markdown.

How does the team feature list function mapping work?

Apiary enables collaboration. Utilizing list_teams, the agent finds the slugs of your organizations. Then, using list_team_apis, it fetches all collaborative APIs available for that precise team. This hierarchy avoids hallucinating random endpoint repositories.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
