VS Code

Add the Alviss AI MCP server to VS Code for GitHub Copilot Chat with MCP Add Server or mcp.json, sign in with your Alviss AI account, and use Alviss AI tools in agent mode.

MCP only works for teams that the Alviss AI staff has enabled it for. See Availability.

The Alviss AI MCP server works with GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code.

Add the Server

Choose one of these options.

Option 1: MCP: Add Server

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P, or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and run MCP: Add Server.
Select HTTP.

Enter the server URL https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp.
Enter the server ID alviss.
Choose where to save the server:
- Global: available in all your workspaces.
- Workspace: saved in .vscode/mcp.json for the current workspace only.

Option 2: mcp.json

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. To add it for all your workspaces instead, run MCP: Open User Configuration and add it there.

{
  "servers": {
    "alviss": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Don't add an oauth block or an Authorization header. VS Code finds the sign-in settings on its own.

Start the server. Click Start above the alviss entry in mcp.json, or run MCP: List Servers, select alviss, then select Start Server.
VS Code asks to let the server sign in. Click Allow.

Your browser opens. Sign in with your Alviss AI account and accept the requested access. See Authentication.
If the browser asks to open VS Code, allow it. The server is now running.

Use Alviss AI in Chat

Open the Chat view and switch to Agent mode.
Click the Configure Tools icon and make sure the alviss tools are selected.

Ask about your Alviss AI data. VS Code asks for your approval before it runs an Alviss AI tool.

Sign Out

Click the Accounts icon at the bottom of the Activity Bar, select the account used for alviss, and select Sign Out.

To remove the server, delete the alviss entry from mcp.json.
