Driver

VS Code + Copilot

MCP support in VS Code requires GitHub Copilot extensions and specific settings to be enabled. See the prerequisites below.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat extensions installed and enabled.
  • MCP enabled in workspace settings: Settings → search "mcp" → under Chat, ensure MCP is enabled.
  • Instruction files enabled: Settings → search "github.copilot.chat.codeGeneration.useInstructionFiles" → check the box.

Configuration

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "driver-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.us1.driverai.com/mcp/v1"
    }
  }
}

The URL above is for Driver's shared multi-tenant environment. If your organization uses a single-tenant deployment, your URL will follow the format https://api.<tenant>.driverai.com/mcp/v1. Check with your Driver admin for the correct URL.
