Bring Openli
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Openli to VS Code Copilot and start using 13 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Openli MCP Server?
Connect your Openli account to any AI agent and take full control of your privacy orchestration and legal compliance through natural conversation. Openli provides a comprehensive platform for managing cookie consent, processing Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), and maintaining an automated audit trail for your legal agreements.
What you can do
- Consent & Agreement Orchestration — List all published legal agreements programmatically and retrieve detailed version metadata to ensure your terms are always synchronized.
- Evidence & Audit Intelligence — Record and save user consent evidence directly from the AI interface to maintain a high-fidelity, legally binding audit trail.
- DSAR Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor incoming Data Subject Access Requests via natural language to drive better response times and regulatory compliance.
- Vendor & Data Processor Control — List and oversee your organization's third-party vendors and data processors using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage privacy audit logs to ensure your compliance workflow is always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Openli API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your privacy hub from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual spreadsheet tracking for user consent. Your AI acts as a dedicated privacy officer or legal operations assistant.
Who is this for?
- Legal & Compliance Teams — quickly retrieve agreement statuses and monitor audit logs without switching apps.
- Data Protection Officers (DPOs) — automate the retrieval of DSAR metadata and track vendor compliance via natural conversation.
- Product Managers — streamline the recording of consent evidence directly within the chat interface.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the latest version of my Privacy Policy?
Yes! Use the list_agreements tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for all published legal documents, including their unique public keys and last update timestamps in seconds.
How do I find my Openli API Key?
Log in to your Openli account, navigate to Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret API key there.
Can I use the AI to record consent for a new user?
Absolutely. Use the save_consent tool. Provide the user's email and the public key of the agreement they accepted, and the agent will securely log the evidence in your Openli audit trail.
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.
