VS Code MCP Server Configuration

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configurations for enhanced AI capabilities in VS Code.

Basic mcp.json Structure

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {},
  "inputs": []
}

GitHub MCP Server (Recommended)

Note: As of June 2025, the Docker-based GitHub MCP and Personal Access Token (PAT) setup is no longer recommended. Use the new remote MCP server for GitHub integration:

{
  "servers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
  • No Docker or PAT required for most users
  • Simplifies setup and works out-of-the-box with Copilot-enabled accounts

Atlassian Jira MCP Server

For Jira issue tracking integration (use only if project uses Jira):

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.atlassian.com/v1/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Setup Requirements:

  • Active Jira instance
  • Appropriate Jira credentials/permissions

Usage Notes

  • Configure only the MCP servers you actually need for your project
  • The new GitHub MCP remote server is the default and recommended approach
  • Test each server configuration individually to ensure proper setup
