Bring Proxy Rotation
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Residential Proxies to VS Code Copilot and start using 10 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Residential Proxies MCP Server?
Connect your AppVidLab Residential Proxies account to any AI agent and take full control of your automated web data collection and proxy rotation workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Proxy Pool Orchestration — List and manage your entire high-fidelity database of working residential proxies programmatically, retrieving detailed IP and port technical metadata
- Geo-Targeting Intelligence — Programmatically query and monitor proxies from specific countries to coordinate your international data mining strategy in real-time
- Rotation Architecture — Access high-fidelity rotating IP strings to maintain a perfectly coordinated audit trail of your scraping sessions and bypass bot detection
- Availability Monitoring — Access real-time status updates and track proxy health directly through your agent for instant operational reporting
- Infrastructure Verification — Verify account-level API connectivity and monitor proxy usage directly through your agent for perfectly coordinated service scaling
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your RapidAPI Key from your RapidAPI dashboard (AppVidLab Residential Proxies API section)
3. Start orchestrating your data collection from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual copy-pasting of proxy strings or missing connectivity drops. Your AI acts as your dedicated network coordinator and data architecture architect.
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — instantly retrieve proxy lists and monitor rotation health using natural language commands
- Web Scrapers — verify geo-targeting metadata and track proxy availability without leaving your creative workspace
- Growth Leads — integrate high-speed residential proxy data into custom data extraction pipelines through simple AI queries

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Residential Proxies 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

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my RapidAPI Key?
Log in to RapidAPI, navigate to the AppVidLab Residential Proxies API page, and copy your unique API Key from the endpoints section.
Can I target specific countries via AI?
Yes! The list_working_proxies tool supports a country_code parameter to retrieve high-fidelity proxies from specific locations.
Are the proxies rotating?
Yes, the API provides high-fidelity residential IP strings that rotate to ensure anonymity and maintain technical scraping performance.
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.
