> A powerful VS Code extension that lets you **discover & install** open‑source MCP servers and expose their tools to **GitHub Copilot Chat**.
## ✨ Features
- 🔧 **MCP Server Management** – connect/manage multiple servers via an intuitive UI
- 🚀 **Copilot Integration** – expose MCP tools directly to Copilot Chat
- 🎯 **Server Discovery** – automatically discover searchable open‑source servers
- ⚡ **Server Health Monitoring** – real‑time status & connection checks
- 🔄 **Auto‑Reconnect** – resilient MCP connections
## 📦 Installation
1) Install from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AutomataLabs.copilot-mcp).
2) Open **MCP Servers** in the Activity Bar, or configure in **Settings**.
<!-- ✨ New: Remote option -->
### Optional: Remote MCP (no local setup)
If you don’t want to run servers locally, use **Cloud MCP** (remote, OAuth‑only).
Paste the MCP URL into Copilot/Claude and you’re done:
