What is the Together AI MCP Server?
Connect your Together AI account to any AI agent and integrate bleeding-edge open-source models seamlessly into your workflow. Harness world-class inference speeds to query Llama, Mixtral, and more, or orchestrate specialized model fine-tuning jobs straight from your chat environment.
What you can do
- Model Discovery — Explore and list all currently supported models on the Together network, identifying the best engine for any NLP or vision task
- Conversational AI — Run chat completion cycles on advanced models simply by supplying a model ID directly from the chat prompt
- Vector Storage Preparation — Generate instant rich embeddings for input texts, ready to populate your analytical databases
- Creative Media — Instruct external diffusion models to generate images using detailed physical descriptions
- Custom Fine-Tuning — Provision custom training runs by indicating a base framework and dataset file, alongside tracking existing job statuses
How it works
- Sign up for this integration
- Open your api.together.xyz control panel and fetch a developer API Key
- Plug the key above, specify models to your agent, and enjoy sub-second serverless inference directly inside your command interface
Who is this for?
- AI Developers — Orchestrate fine-tuning parameters and launch jobs to the compute cluster without CLI switching
- Software Engineers — Use the provider to test completions using alternative open-source solutions (e.g., Llama 3) natively in code editors
- Machine Learning Engineers — Bulk-generate vectors from raw logs using embedding models attached straight to their main conversational agent

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Together AI 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
Where do I obtain my Together AI API Key?
Log in to the developer portal via api.together.xyz/settings/api-keys. If you do not have an existing key, click Create API Key. This token enables the execution of remote inferences spanning their hosted clusters securely.
Do I have to pay to use Together models through the agent?
Yes. This connector simply routes your instructions to Together AI. Any tokens consumed during chat completion, embeddings, images generation, or fine-tuning workloads are billed directly to your registered Together AI account balance according to their official compute pricing models.
Can I access free models on Together AI?
Yes! Together AI frequently offers free tiers for certain open-source models intended for experimentation and research. You can query these directly from your agent without depleting your account balance, though specific free-tier rate limits will apply.
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.
