Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Docker Hub 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

How do I get a Docker Hub access token?

Log in to hub.docker.com, go to Settings > Security, click New Access Token, give it a name and copy the token immediately — it starts with dckr_pat_ and won't be shown again.

Can I create private repositories?

Yes! Use create_repository with is_private set to "true". Note that free Docker Hub accounts have a limited number of private repositories. Check your account plan for private repo limits.

Can I search for public Docker images?

Yes! Use search_repositories with a query like "nginx", "python" or "node". Results include the namespace, name, star count, pull count and description for each matching image. This is useful for discovering community images before pulling them.

Can I see all tags for an image?

Yes! Use list_tags with the namespace and repository name. Returns all available tags with their image sizes, last pushed dates and digests. Useful for finding the correct version to pull.

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.

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
