Connect VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

VS Code runs MCP servers in Copilot’s agent mode. If your GitHub organization manages Copilot, an admin may have to allow MCP servers first (checked 2026-10-10).

Add the server

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette (⇧⌘P / Ctrl+Shift+P), choose HTTP, enter https://mcp.getadloop.com/mcp, name it adloop and pick where to save it. Or write the config yourself in .vscode/mcp.json (one project) or your user mcp.json (MCP: Open User Configuration, all projects). Newer VS Code versions also offer a shared .mcp.json; the format below works in the VS Code files and supports the secure key prompt:

Sign in with AdLoop (OAuth)
API key

{
  "servers": {
    "adloop": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.getadloop.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

On first use VS Code opens AdLoop’s consent page in your browser; choose Allow access. The account then appears in VS Code’s Accounts menu.

VS Code asks for the key once and stores it securely, so it never sits in the file:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "adloop-key",
      "description": "AdLoop API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "adloop": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.getadloop.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:adloop-key}" }
    }
  }
}

Create the key under Settings → API keys in the dashboard.

Verify

Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent, and check that AdLoop appears under Configure Tools. MCP: List Servers shows its status and output. Then ask: “Run the AdLoop health check.”

Notes

Copilot sends at most 128 tools per request across all servers. If you run several servers, deselect what you don’t need under Configure Tools, or use an AdLoop key limited to a few toolsets.
To sign in to a different workspace, run Authentication: Remove Dynamic Authentication Providers, then start the server again.
VS Code shows a trust prompt the first time a server starts and after its config changes.

Your AI can read these docs too. Add https://docs.getadloop.com/mcp as an additional MCP server and your assistant can search this documentation while it works: setup answers, troubleshooting, and tool guidance on demand.
