Set up VS Code and GitHub Copilot

A .vscode/mcp.json entry. VS Code handles the sign-in.

The fastest route is still the paste: the agent runs these steps itself.

By hand

1. Add the server to the workspace

Create or extend .vscode/mcp.json in the repository (or add it to your user settings for every workspace).

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "superbooks": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.superbooks.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Start the server and sign in

Run the command MCP: List Servers, pick superbooks and choose Start. VS Code opens the SuperBooks consent screen; approve the scopes.

Verify

Copilot's Agent mode tool picker lists the SuperBooks tools, and asking it to call team_get returns your team's name.

What the agent can do

45 tools, gated by the credential's scopes: a Read Only key sees the read tier only, and destructive tools need two separate approvals. See Authentication and the API reference.

VS Code and GitHub Copilot signs in through the SuperBooks consent screen, so no key is copied anywhere. The raw instructions the agent executes are at /agent-setup/prompt.md; all guides are listed at Onboard your agent.
