Running the MCP Server hosted in GitHub Copilot with VS Code Insiders

Note: If you already have the MCP server enabled with Claude Desktop, add chat.mcp.discovery.enabled: true in your VS Code settings and it will discover existing MCP server lists.

If you want to associate the MCP server with a specific repo, create a .vscode/mcp.json file with this content:

{
  "inputs": [],
  "servers": {
    "peacock-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      // "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@johnpapa/peacock-mcp"
        // "_git/peacock-mcp/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

If you want to associate the MCP server with all repos, add the following to your VS Code User Settings JSON:

"mcp": {
  "servers": {
    "peacock-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      // "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@johnpapa/peacock-mcp"
        // "/Users/papa/_git/peacock-mcp/dist/index.js"
        // "_git/peacock-mcp/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
"chat.mcp.discovery.enabled": true,
