VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Use a current VS Code version with Copilot Chat and MCP access enabled. Your organization may restrict which servers you can connect.

Workspace configuration

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project. This example prompts for the API key instead of storing it in the shared file:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "autype-api-key",
      "description": "Autype API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "autype": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.autype.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "${input:autype-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a scoped key in Autype Settings → API Keys. You need owner/admin access to the selected organization and active Developer API access.

User configuration

For access across projects, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette and put the same configuration in the user-profile mcp.json. Do not add mcp.servers to settings.json.

Start and verify

Use MCP: List Servers to select and start Autype. Review the server trust prompt, enter your API key, and enable its tools in Copilot Chat. Ask:

“List my Autype projects without changing anything.”

See the VS Code MCP documentation for current setup, OAuth options, and organization controls. Keep real API keys out of source control.
