GitHub Copilot
Configure TaskJunky MCP server for GitHub Copilot in VS Code.
Prerequisites
- Visual Studio Code 1.99 or later
- GitHub Copilot extension installed
Setup (OAuth — recommended)
Copilot supports HTTP MCP servers with OAuth. Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"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:
