copilot-mcp

von VikashLoomba · VikashLoomba/copilot-mcp

VSCode extension that discovers, installs, and manages MCP servers for GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex CLI — with optional remote Cloud MCP.

copilot-mcp (VikashLoomba) is a VSCode extension (not an MCP server itself) that bundles MCP server management, skills marketplace (skills.sh), and Cloud MCP (remote hosted servers). Useful for VSCode-centric workflows who want a UI over configs.

Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json  · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "copilot",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "context_servers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "copilot-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add copilot -- npx -y copilot-mcp

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

Installed MCP doesn't show in Copilot/Claude Code

Some tools need an editor restart after MCP config changes
