Add the Mintlify MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

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. Mintlify is hosted by Mintlify, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Mintlify can do. Edit, restructure and publish your Mintlify docs, review diffs and comments, open pull requests, and manage project settings, workflows and analytics. 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.

How do I add the Mintlify MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Run: code --add-mcp '{"name":"mintlify","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.mintlify.com"}'. VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server.

Is this the official Mintlify MCP server?

Yes. It is published by Mintlify as com.mintlify/adminmcp in the official MCP registry.

Does the Mintlify MCP server need an API key?

It is a hosted server. Most hosted servers sign you in with OAuth the first time VS Code (GitHub Copilot) uses them; check Mintlify's docs for any plan or permission requirements.
