# VS Code

> Connect VS Code's Copilot agent mode to Chiplab's MCP server and authenticate.

## Prerequisites

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

## Connect Chiplab

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Chiplab config">
    Create (or extend) `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:

    ```json .vscode/mcp.json theme={null}
    {
      "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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it from agent mode">
    Open Copilot Chat, switch to **Agent** mode, and click the tools icon; Chiplab's tools should be listed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Add to `.github/copilot-instructions.md`: "After making firmware changes, test them on Chiplab before reporting back."</Tip>
