VS Code Configuration
To use this MCP server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code, create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root:
{
"servers": {
"fastmcp-starter-kit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8100/sse", "--allow-http"]
}
}
}
Important Notes:
- Make sure your MCP server is running on the port specified in the configuration.
- If you're running the server on port 8000 (default), update the URL to
http://localhost:8000/sse - The
--allow-httpflag is required for local HTTP connections
Once you have the MCP server running, you can connect it to GitHub Copilot to access the custom tools. Here's how it looks in GitHub Copilot:

Development
To add new tools to your MCP server:
- Add new tool functions in
src/server.pyusing the@mcp.tool()decorator - Restart the server
- The new tools will be automatically available to connected clients
Example:
@mcp.tool()
async def my_new_tool(param: str) -> str:
"""Description of what this tool does."""
return f"Processed: {param}"
