Add the Axiom MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Query Axiom datasets and metrics with APL and manage dashboards, monitors and notifiers.
1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"axiom","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.axiom.co/mcp"}'Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) MCP config guide
2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Axiom is hosted by Axiom, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Axiom can do. Query Axiom datasets and metrics with APL and manage dashboards, monitors and notifiers. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
