| 38 | > A powerful VS Code extension that lets you **discover, install, and manage** open‑source MCP servers and agent skills from one place. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ## ✨ Features |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - 🔧 **MCP Server Management** – connect/manage multiple servers via an intuitive UI |
| 43 | - 🧠 **Skills Search & Install** – discover skills from `skills.sh` and install to your agents |
| 44 | - 🗂️ **Installed Skills Management** – view installed skills and uninstall with agent-level controls |
| 45 | - 🚀 **Claude/Codex/Copilot Integration** – expose MCP tools directly to your agents |
| 46 | - 🎯 **Server Discovery** – automatically discover open‑source servers |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ## 📦 Installation |
| 49 | |
| 50 | 1. Install from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AutomataLabs.copilot-mcp). |
| 51 | 2. Open **MCP Servers** in the Activity Bar, or configure in **Settings**. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | <!-- ✨ New: Remote option --> |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ### Optional: Remote MCP (no local setup) |
| 56 | |
| 57 | If you don’t want to run servers locally, use **Cloud MCP** (remote, OAuth‑only). |
| 58 | Paste the MCP URL into Copilot/Claude and you’re done: |

| 61 | |
| 62 | ## 🛠️ Configuration |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Configure via the UI or VS Code settings. Look for the **MCP Servers** icon in the Activity Bar. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ## 🚀 Usage |
| 67 | |
| 68 | 1. Open the **MCP Servers** view |
| 69 | 2. Connect or search for servers |
| 70 | 3. Switch to **Skills** to search and install skills, and manage installed skills |
| 71 | 4. Use Copilot Chat with your newly added tools and skills |
| 72 | |
| 73 | <!-- ✨ New: Discovery + Remote deploy hint --> |
| 74 | |
| 75 | > Tip: When a server supports `npx`/`uvx`, the **Server Discovery** panel shows a **“Deploy via Cloud MCP”** option so you can run it remotely without installing anything. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | ## 🔗 Requirements |
| 78 | |
| 79 | - VS Code |
| 80 | - GitHub Copilot Chat extension |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ## 🌟 Benefits |
| 83 | |
| 84 | - Give Copilot standardized tools via MCP |
| 85 | - Local or remote workflows (Cloud MCP) |
| 86 | - Join a growing, interoperable ecosystem |
| 87 | |
| 88 | ## Telemetry |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Copilot MCP collects a small set of **anonymous usage events** — searches, install attempts, and clicks on in-extension links/CTAs — so we can understand which features are useful. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | - **What is collected:** anonymous event names with a small set of properties: the search terms you type in the extension (sidebar search and `@mcp` chat prompts, truncated to 100 characters), public GitHub repository names/URLs and skill source locators for items you search for or act on, your OS platform/architecture and the extension version, and error messages/diagnostics (truncated) when something fails. |
| 93 | - **What is never collected:** file |
