설치

클라이언트 선택

~/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
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "copilot",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "copilot-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "copilot": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "copilot-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

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

한 줄 명령. claude mcp list로 확인, claude mcp remove로 제거.

비용 및 제한

운영 비용

호출당 토큰: N/A (extension itself)
금액: Free extension; Cloud MCP may have a paid tier
팁: Prefer local servers unless you truly can't install them

보안

권한, 시크릿, 파급범위

자격 증명 저장: Credentials entered in the extension go to VSCode's secret storage

데이터 외부 송신: Cloud MCP egresses to its backend; local servers to their own targets

문제 해결

자주 발생하는 오류와 해결

Installed MCP doesn't show in Copilot/Claude Code

Some tools need an editor restart after MCP config changes

Token prompt loops

Clear the VSCode secret for that server, re-install

Cloud MCP latency high

Switch to a closer region in extension settings if available; otherwise prefer local

대안

copilot-mcp 다른 것과 비교

대안	언제 쓰나	단점/장점
MCP Router (desktop)	You work across multiple clients not just VSCode	No VSCode-native UI; no skills marketplace
Manual claude_desktop_config.json	You're a config purist	No marketplace UX
