Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) MCP config guide

VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Airbyte Agents is hosted by Airbyte, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Airbyte Agents can do. Connect business apps like Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear and Stripe through Airbyte agent connectors, then query their data and run actions from your agent. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

• · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
• · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
