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://app.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
244 real tools, reached through Code Mode's search_tools and execute_typescript rather than listed one by one, 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.
