1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"workos","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.workos.com/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. WorkOS is hosted by WorkOS, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something WorkOS can do. Manage WorkOS organizations, users, SSO, Directory Sync and AuthKit. 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.
