Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the LibreChat MCP Server?
Connect your LibreChat instance to any AI agent and gain programmatic control over your self-hosted AI ecosystem. This server allows you to bridge your custom agents and models with any MCP-compatible client.
What you can do
- Agent Orchestration — List all available agents and models configured in your LibreChat environment.
- Unified Completions — Create chat completions using the Agents API, providing an OpenAI-compatible interface for your custom setups.
- Open Responses — Utilize the Open Responses API specification to generate structured AI outputs.
- Session Management — Authenticate directly via email and password to retrieve access tokens when a static API key is not preferred.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your LibreChat Base URL and API Key (or use the login tool)
- Start interacting with your private LLM agents through Claude, Cursor, or other MCP tools.
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — integrate self-hosted LibreChat agents into automated workflows and IDEs.
- DevOps Teams — monitor and query available model configurations across different environments.
- Power Users — centralize access to multiple private LLMs through a single, secure interface.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings LibreChat data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for LibreChat in VS Code Copilot
The LibreChat MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 4 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in VS Code Copilot only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
LibreChat for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the LibreChat MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I see which agents are currently available in my LibreChat instance?
You can use the list_models tool. It will query your configured LibreChat instance and return a list of all accessible agents and models associated with your credentials.
Can I use this server to chat with a specific agent by its ID?
Yes! Use the chat_completions tool. Simply provide the model (which is the Agent ID) and an array of messages to generate a response from that specific agent.
What should I do if I don't have a static API key for my instance?
You can use the login tool. By providing your email and password, the server will authenticate with LibreChat and retrieve the necessary access tokens for subsequent requests.
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.
