Add the ZenRows 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. ZenRows is hosted by ZenRows, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something ZenRows can do. Scrape and extract structured data from sites that block bots, run batch and crawl jobs, and automate a remote browser through ZenRows. 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 ZenRows MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

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

Is this the official ZenRows MCP server?

Yes. It is published by ZenRows as io.github.ZenRows/zenrows-mcp in the official MCP registry.

Does the ZenRows 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 ZenRows's docs for any plan or permission requirements.
