GitHub Coding Agent MCP

[Gareth064]

Is it possible to add the MCP into a repos Coding Agent MCP file?

Or does this only work if you install it locally on Claude code desktop or local agents built into Visual studio etc

Yes. For VS Code, you can put this in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
	"servers": {
		"blazorblueprint": {
			"type": "stdio",
			"command": "npx",
			"args": [
				"-y",
				"@blazorblueprint/mcp"
			]
		},
	},
}

sorry for the dumb question but is that the same as here in the online version?

humm... interesting question. I have not used Copilot and I am not sure if it can install the npm package on its on virtual environment. You can try and add this config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blazorblueprint": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@blazorblueprint/mcp@latest"],
      "tools": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

It may only work with hosted MCP, currently I have opted for a local MCP at the moment.

Let me know :)
