Add a server

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, or open the Agent Customizations editor.
Choose Command (stdio) and enter the launch command, or HTTP and enter the server URL.
Pick where to save it: your user profile or the workspace's .vscode/mcp.json.
Alternatively, edit mcp.json by hand under servers, giving each entry a type.
Accept the server trust prompt and sign in if the server asks for authentication.

Questions

Does Visual Studio Code support MCP servers?: Yes, for GitHub Copilot's agent mode. VS Code runs local servers over stdio and connects to remote servers over Streamable HTTP or legacy SSE, and handles OAuth when it's configured. Servers go in an mcp.json file.
Does Visual Studio Code support skills?: Yes. Where skills live depends on the agent: for Copilot, .github/skills/ in a project or ~/.copilot/skills/ for you; the Claude and Codex agents read their own skill folders.
