VS Code (with GitHub Copilot Chat)

Requires VS Code 1.101+ with GitHub Copilot Chat installed. Start without a token so VS Code can use its native auth flow; fall back to a token only if needed.

Open the config

In VS Code, open the Command Palette and run MCP: Open User Configuration, or edit the file directly:

| OS | Path | | --- | --- | | macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json | | Windows | %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json | | Linux | ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json |

One-click connect (recommended)
Security token

{
  "servers": {
    "popcorn": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.popcorn.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

When VS Code asks you to sign in or approve access, choose the browser-based flow.

First, generate a security token.

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "popcorn-key",
      "description": "Popcorn API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "popcorn": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.popcorn.co/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:popcorn-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}
