Set up Edge in Visual Studio Code

Add Edge as an MCP server for Copilot in Visual Studio Code, then ask one test question. Free, no Edge account.

No skill to install: Edge loads the right one per task.

Connect Edge

Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Add Server. Choose HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events) and paste the URL:

https://getedge.cc/mcp

Enter edge as the server ID, then choose Global > Copilot Global, so Edge is there in every workspace. Accept the trust prompt.

Free needs no Edge key. Pro: add a header Authorization: Bearer edge_YOUR_KEY in your personal configuration, never in a shared file.

Add it in a file

The same entry by hand: put it in ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json for yourself (Copilot CLI reads the same file), or in .mcp.json at the workspace root to share it with your team.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getedge.cc/mcp",
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To run Edge on your computer instead (needs Node.js 20 or newer):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edge": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@getedge/mcp"
      ],
      "tools": [
        "*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Test it

Start a new Copilot chat and ask:

Show me what Edge can do.

It works when Copilot calls an Edge tool (expand the tool call in the chat) and its answer lists what Edge can do. An answer without a tool call means Edge is not connected yet: open Chat: Open Customizations > MCP Servers and check that edge is running.

Sources

Checked 2026-11-12 against Microsoft's VS Code guides. On Linux, GitHub Copilot CLI read the file above (copilot mcp get edge: Type http, Status Enabled). The URL answered MCP initialize and tools/list, and npx -y @getedge/mcp answered tools/list. Not run inside the VS Code app.
