A powerful VS Code extension that lets you discover, install, and manage open‑source MCP servers and agent skills from one place.
✨ Features
- 🔧 MCP Server Management – connect/manage multiple servers via an intuitive UI
- 🧠 Skills Search & Install – discover skills from
skills.sh and install to your agents
- 🗂️ Installed Skills Management – view installed skills and uninstall with agent-level controls
- 🚀 Claude/Codex/Copilot Integration – expose MCP tools directly to your agents
- 🎯 Server Discovery – automatically discover open‑source servers
📦 Installation
- Install from the VS Code Marketplace.
- Open MCP Servers in the Activity Bar, or configure in Settings.
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:
🛠️ Configuration
Configure via the UI or VS Code settings. Look for the MCP Servers icon in the Activity Bar.
🚀 Usage
- Open the MCP Servers view
- Connect or search for servers
- Switch to Skills to search and install skills, and manage installed skills
- Use Copilot Chat with your newly added tools and skills
Tip: When a server supports npx/uvx, the Server Discovery panel shows a “Deploy via Cloud MCP” option so you can run it remotely without installing anything.
🔗 Requirements
- VS Code
- GitHub Copilot Chat extension
🌟 Benefits
