3 MCP Servers I Use Daily in VS Code
Visual Studio Code highlights three Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers they use in VS Code to extend GitHub Copilot Agent mode for day-to-day development tasks like reviewing pull requests, testing in a real browser, and fetching current documentation for better context.
Overview
The video focuses on an MCP-based setup in VS Code that connects GitHub Copilot Agent mode to three MCP servers:
- GitHub MCP server: used for workflows like reviewing PRs.
- Playwright MCP server: used to test an app in a real browser.
- Microsoft Learn MCP server: used to pull the latest Microsoft Learn docs for additional context.
