What you can do

  • Organization & Project Management — List all organizations and team projects to navigate your API design and debugging environments effortlessly
  • API File Inspection — Retrieve exact content payloads for design documents and request collections, including full OpenAPI/Swagger specifications
  • Environment Audit — List project environments and variable counts to understand stage-specific configurations like base URLs and auth tokens
  • Team Collaboration — Identify registered members and roles in your organization and track collaborative progress across parallel feature branches
  • Mock Server Monitoring — Analyze deployed mock servers linked to your projects, including their operational states and hosted endpoints
  • AI Insights — Query AI-powered request logs and test suggestions generated within your Insomnia organization to improve API quality

How it works

List mock servers in an Insomnia project. Mock servers simulate API responses for testing. Returns mock names, URLs, and statuses

list_orgs

Use this to find the appropriate org_id needed for subsequent project or file operations. List all organizations on Insomnia Cloud. Insomnia (by Kong) is a leading API design, debugging, and testing tool supporting REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSockets. Returns org names, IDs, and member counts

list_projects

Projects contain design files, requests, environments, and mock servers. List team projects in an Insomnia organization. Projects group API specs, collections, and environments. Returns project names and IDs

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Insomnia (Collaborative API Design) 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

01

Can I fetch full OpenAPI specifications through my agent?

Yes. Use the get_file tool by providing the relevant Org, Project, and File IDs. Your agent will retrieve the exact content payload, allowing you to inspect or summarize the API structure directly in your workspace.

02

How do I see the environments defined in a team project?

The list_environments tool allows your agent to extract base environments scoped within a project. You'll see the environment names and variable counts, helping you identify available stages for your API calls.

03

Can my agent check if a mock server is currently online?

Absolutely. Use the list_mocks tool to retrieve all mock servers linked to your projects. Your agent will report their current operational state, names, and hosted URLs for testing purposes.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

MCP tools not available

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