Connect VS Code to ODUS

Add ODUS to VS Code as an MCP server. GitHub Copilot can then read your ODUS data in agent mode.

Add the server​

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project, or add the entry to the file if it exists:

{
  "servers": {
    "odus": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.odus.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The file holds no credential, so you can commit it: each person who uses it signs in with their own ODUS account.

To add the server for yourself in every workspace instead, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette and add the same entry there. MCP: Add Server in the Command Palette does the same, step by step: choose HTTP, then paste the URL.

Sign in​

  1. Start the server: choose Start above its entry in mcp.json, or run MCP: List Servers and start it there.
  2. VS Code says the server wants to authenticate to mcp.odus.com. Choose Allow. Your browser opens the ODUS Dashboard.
  3. Sign in and approve the connection, as Sign in and approve describes.

Use it​

Open the Chat view, switch to Agent mode, and check that the ODUS tools are ticked in the tools picker. Then ask a question, for example "fetch payment pay_2mXGTxXIkqv4uSdbm8DJCzvHUIu and write a TypeScript type for its response".

Copilot asks before it runs a tool. You can allow a tool for the session, the workspace or always.

Disconnect​

Remove the entry from mcp.json, and disconnect it in the Dashboard under Settings > Personal > Connected apps.
