GitHub Copilot

Configure TaskJunky MCP server for GitHub Copilot in VS Code.

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio Code 1.99 or later
  • GitHub Copilot extension installed

Copilot supports HTTP MCP servers with OAuth. Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "taskjunky": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://web.taskjunky.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code will prompt you to sign in via OAuth on first use.

For Copilot, add a repository instruction file so Agent mode keeps doing this consistently:

.github/copilot-instructions.md
## TaskJunky (MCP)

Always call `get_context` at the start of every new session and whenever resuming a previous session before taking new actions.

Verify it works

  1. Open Copilot Chat (click the Copilot icon in the title bar)
  2. Select Agent mode from the dropdown
  3. Click the tools icon to confirm taskjunky tools are listed
  4. Ask Copilot to call get_context
  5. On later resumed chats, confirm it calls get_context again before taking new actions
