What is the Stoplight MCP Server?
Integrate the industry-leading API design and documentation capabilities of Stoplight into your conversational AI workflows. Empower your engineering teams to explore workspaces, evaluate OpenAPI schemas, and audit API projects natively from their conversational assistant. Securely map your AI to your Stoplight workspace, enabling the orchestration of complex documentation tasks, project navigation, and architectural reviews naturally without switching contexts or opening complex dashboards.
What you can do
- Workspace Exploration — Rapidly inspect top-level organizational containers invoking
list_workspaces, and track operational changes programmatically leveraginglist_workspace_activity. - Project Management — Audit your API documentation repositories cataloging initiatives securely using
list_projects, and retrieve full visibility metadata invokingget_project_details. - Schema & Documentation Discovery — Dive deeply into specific documentation structures retrieving files, endpoints, and models leveraging
list_project_nodes, and parse their raw text safely utilizingget_node_details. - Team & Governance — Map project ownership accurately and enforce governance metrics iteratively assigning roles retrieving authorized contributors naturally via
list_workspace_members.
How it works
- Install the Stoplight MCP module securely authenticating it to your organizational AI interface.
- In the MCP configurations, provide your
STOPLIGHT_WORKSPACEslug and a validSTOPLIGHT_TOKENgenerated directly from your Stoplight workspace settings. - Prompt the AI: "List the latest active endpoints from our 'core-billing-api' project and retrieve the detailed schema documentation for the processing node."
Who is this for?
- API Architects — Accelerate API design reviews by instantly accessing endpoints and OpenAPI models naturally via your terminal without leaving your coding environment.
- Technical Writers — Discover and organize large scale API documentation landscapes rapidly summarizing updates directly from recent workspace activity logs.
- Backend Engineers — Resolve integration dependencies efficiently by querying endpoint models across independent Stoplight projects precisely and securely.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Stoplight data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 7 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
Is the integration read-only?
Yes. All tools only read from your Stoplight workspace — projects, nodes, schemas, and activity logs. No modifications or deletions are possible through this integration.
What is the workspace slug?
It's the subdomain of your Stoplight URL. For example, if your workspace is at https://acme.stoplight.io, the slug is acme. You can find it in the address bar when logged in.
What data can the agent access?
Projects, workspace members, activity logs, and all project nodes (endpoints, models, articles). Each node's full content — including OpenAPI schemas — can be retrieved via get_node_details.
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.
