Connect GitHub Copilot
Configure SpecMCP for Copilot Chat in VS Code.
GitHub Copilot uses a personal access token for SpecMCP. In Connections, choose GitHub Copilot, generate a token, and copy the supplied configuration.
Create .vscode/mcp.json in the project, or open your VS Code user MCP configuration. Paste the server beneath the servers key, for example:
{
"servers": {
"specmcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.specmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
}
}
}Reload VS Code, then enable SpecMCP in the Copilot Chat tools picker. Treat the token as a secret and do not commit .vscode/mcp.json when it contains it.
