VS Code & Copilot

Use this guide to connect Screpy to VS Code and GitHub Copilot Chat. Your VS Code and Copilot setup must allow remote HTTP MCP servers.

Connect Screpy MCP to VS Code

Open the MCP server configuration

Open the MCP server configuration from the Command Palette or Copilot Chat's tool settings. This opens mcp.json.

Add Screpy to mcp.json

Add this remote HTTP server, then save the file:

{
  "servers": {
    "screpy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.screpy.com"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate with Screpy

VS Code discovers that Screpy uses OAuth and shows an Auth action above the server configuration. Select it, sign in to Screpy in your browser, and approve access.

Use Screpy in Copilot Chat

Open Copilot Chat and ask:

Use Screpy to list my projects and identify the most urgent Quick Wins in my latest crawl.

If your organization blocks the connection

Ask your VS Code or GitHub Copilot administrator whether remote MCP servers and browser-based OAuth are allowed. If the server connects but no projects appear, see Troubleshooting.
