Add the New Relic MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Query New Relic metrics, logs, traces and entities from your agent.
1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"new-relic","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.newrelic.com/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. New Relic is hosted by New Relic, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something New Relic can do. Query New Relic metrics, logs, traces and entities 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.
