Prerequisites

  • VS Code 1.101 or later, with GitHub Copilot enabled.

​
Connect Chiplab

1

Add the Chiplab config

Create (or extend) .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "chiplab": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://chiplab.veecle.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Note the top-level key is servers, not mcpServers. To make Chiplab available in every workspace instead, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette and add the same block there. You can also let VS Code write the file for you via MCP: Add Server.
2

Start the server and authenticate

Save the file, then click the Start action that appears above the server entry. VS Code detects that Chiplab requires sign-in and opens a browser window to complete OAuth.
3

Use it from agent mode

Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, and click the tools icon; Chiplab’s tools should be listed.
Add to .github/copilot-instructions.md: “After making firmware changes, test them on Chiplab before reporting back.”
