What is the FastGPT MCP Server?
Connect your AI workflows to FastGPT, the powerful open-source platform for building knowledge-based AI applications. This MCP provides 12 tools for full lifecycle management of datasets, apps, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.
What you can do
- Dataset Orchestration — Create, list, and manage knowledge base datasets with granular control over configurations
- Document Ingestion — Push text content or chunks directly to datasets for automatic indexing and vectorization
- Semantic Search — Run advanced semantic queries against your knowledge bases to test relevance and RAG quality
- Application Management — List and inspect AI applications to monitor their configurations and linked datasets
- OpenAI-Compatible Chat — Trigger RAG-powered chat completions with full context, session tracking, and intermediate step visibility
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Set up FastGPT (cloud or self-hosted)
- Navigate to your App settings and enter the API Access section
- Generate an API Key
- Identify your Base URL (e.g.,
https://api.fastgpt.infor cloud) - Insert both into the fields below to start managing your RAG pipelines.
Who is this for?
- Knowledge Engineers — automate the ingestion of documentation across multiple datasets
- RAG Developers — debug semantic search results and optimize chunking strategies programmatically
- System Integrators — build complex AI workflows that require dynamic knowledge base management

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings FastGPT data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 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

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this with my self-hosted FastGPT instance?
Yes! Simply provide your custom domain in the Base URL field (e.g., https://fastgpt.mycompany.com). The MCP will route all requests to your specific instance.
How do I add new data to an existing dataset?
Use the push_dataset_data tool. You can send a JSON array of objects containing the text content to be indexed. FastGPT will handle the chunking and embedding automatically.
What is the 'goods_sign' used for in Pinduoduo tools?
Wait, this is the FastGPT FAQ. For FastGPT, you mostly need Dataset IDs and App IDs. The 'goods_sign' is specific to the Pinduoduo MCP. Always check you are using the correct tools for the specific platform.
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.
