# VS Code

> Set up OpenFinance MCP with GitHub Copilot in Agent mode

Requires the GitHub Copilot extension installed and an active Copilot subscription.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Command Palette">
    Press **Cmd+Shift+P** (Mac) or **Ctrl+Shift+P** (Windows).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add MCP server">
    Type `MCP` and select **MCP: Add Server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose scope">
    Choose **Workspace** (adds to this project) or **Global** (available in all projects).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit config">
    This creates or opens an `mcp.json` file. Add the OpenFinance server inside the `servers` object:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "servers": {
        "openfinance-tech": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://api.openfinance.tech/agent/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "x-api-key": "open_xxxxx"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    Drop the `headers` object if you only need public tools.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the server">
    Save the file. A **Start** button appears at the top, click it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Open Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I / Cmd+Ctrl+I), select **Agent** mode, and OpenFinance tools are available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  VS Code uses `"servers"`, not `"mcpServers"`. This is different from Claude.
