1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"prisma","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.prisma.io/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Prisma Postgres is hosted by Prisma, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Prisma Postgres can do. Provision and manage Prisma Postgres databases. 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.
