What is the Verba MCP Server?
Intertwine the open-source Verba (by Weaviate) ecosystem natively into your conversational AI IDE. Execute powerful Retrieval-Augmented Generation processes and manage your localized knowledge bases simply by chatting.
What you can do
- Augmented Queries — Cast a question to your agent and have it retrieve fully synthesized answers from the Verba engine completely backed up by exact document citations.
- Knowledge Management — Insert new context text, list all ingested documents, retrieve the deeply embedded raw data of any ID, or remove dead knowledge dynamically without Web UIs.
- Health Checks — Request system configurations directly via chat to ensure your local LLM connections, embedding models, and cluster health are firing effectively.
How it works
- Ensure your local or cloud Verba instance is running
- Supply your Verba API URL and API Key (if authenticated)
- Ask Claude or Cursor to query, retrieve, or insert document structures intuitively.
Who is this for?
- RAG Developers — quickly add or delete text chunks to evaluate changes in embedding fidelity directly inside your IDE coding session.
- Knowledge Managers — query your dense technical manuals using semantic search and receive the verified text snippets instantly.
- Open Source Hobbyists — orchestrate your personal Weaviate/Verba RAG stacks strictly through the programmatic conversational layer.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Verba data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 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
Can I query my local Verba instance directly through Cursor?
Yes! Once you configure VERBA_API_URL to point to http://localhost:8000 (or your host port), you can prompt your AI assistant to execute rigorous perform_rag_query instructions without ever breaking your developer focus.
How do I insert fresh text data into Verba completely using conversational chat?
Provide the agent with your desired context directly. For example: Add this chunk of markdown as a new document to Verba: '# Title Content...'. The agent leverages addDocumentTool, serializes the payload, and commits it into Verba's vector store immutably.
Are the query answers backed by citations from its embedded documents?
Absolutely. That's the primary benefit of the integration. When you run perform_rag_query, Verba utilizes Weaviate's hybrid search mechanics. The output explicitly includes natural language synthesis backed by the unique document IDs and snippet texts it referenced.
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.
