# Connect to VS Code

Add ToolRouter to VS Code with GitHub Copilot's agent mode. Requires VS Code 1.99+ with Copilot.

## How do I add ToolRouter to VS Code?

Add this to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project root:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "toolrouter": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "toolrouter-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Note: VS Code uses `"servers"` instead of `"mcpServers"` and requires a `"type": "stdio"` field.

Tools appear in Copilot's agent mode automatically.

No API key needed — your account is created automatically on first use.

**Requires [Node.js 18+](https://nodejs.org).**
