What is the JWT Decoder & Verifier MCP Server?
While an AI Agent can base64-decode a JSON Web Token to read its claims, it is physically incapable of verifying the cryptographic signature. This means an AI could accept a forged token or an expired session without knowing. This MCP solves that by offloading the mathematical signature verification to the V8 engine.
The Superpowers
- Cryptographic Verification: Uses
jsonwebtokento strictly verify the token signature against the provided secret key. - Local Decoding: Extract user IDs, roles, and expiration dates instantly without network latency.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the JWT string and optionally a secret or public key. The engine decodes the header, payload, and validates the signature offline. Decodes JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and mathematically verifies cryptographic signatures offline
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings JWT Decoder & Verifier data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 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 decode a token without the secret?
Yes, if you omit the secret, it will only decode the payload, but it will not verify authenticity.
Does it check expiration dates?
Yes, if the secret is provided, it will automatically throw an error if the token is expired.
What algorithms does it support?
It supports standard JWT algorithms including HS256, HS384, and HS512.
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.
