Connect VS Code and GitHub Copilot to Entalpa

Prefer the Entalpa agent plugin shared with Copilot CLI, or use the VS Code MCP server gallery or .vscode/mcp.json for direct setup.

before you start

VS Code and GitHub Copilot will ask you to log in

The MCP server serves your own projects, so it authenticates you: the first connection opens a browser and asks for your Entalpa account. Register first, otherwise that prompt has nothing to accept. Registration is free, no card, and MCP calls never spend credits.

Create a free account

requirements

VS Code with Copilot Chat agent mode and MCP support enabled.
Browser access for OAuth.

install mcp server

Add through VS Code

Use Command Palette MCP: Add Server, select HTTP, and enter https://api.entalpa.com/mcp with server name entalpa.

Manual workspace config

{
  "servers": {
    "entalpa": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.entalpa.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

install entalpa skill

Install from entalpa/entalpa-mcp's default branch for the latest skill, or use a release tag for a reproducible install.

Preferred Copilot plugin path

copilot plugin marketplace add entalpa/entalpa-mcp
copilot plugin install entalpa@entalpa-plugins

Enable the plugin in VS Code

VS Code discovers plugins installed under ~/.copilot/installed-plugins. Open the Agent Plugins installed view, review the Entalpa plugin, and enable it for the desired profile or workspace.

GitHub CLI skill alternative

gh skill install entalpa/entalpa-mcp entalpa-implement --agent github-copilot --scope user
gh skill install entalpa/entalpa-mcp entalpa-prd --agent github-copilot --scope user

npx skills alternative

npx skills add entalpa/entalpa-mcp --skill "*" --agent github-copilot -g -y

verify

Restart MCP servers from the VS Code MCP view and confirm Entalpa tools appear.
Ask Copilot Chat to list Entalpa projects.

known limitations

GitHub Copilot coding agent and code review repository MCP config is not documented here for Entalpa because GitHub currently documents OAuth limitations for remote MCP on that surface.
