GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

TL;DR dd the Plurality MCP Server through VS Code's native MCP configuration with a Plurality PAT, then use it from Copilot Chat in Agent mode.

Prerequisites

  • VS Code 1.99 or later

  • A paid GitHub Copilot subscription

  • GitHub Copilot extension installed in VS Code

Setup

  1. Open VS Code and press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux).

  2. Run MCP: Add Server.

  3. Select HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events).

  4. Enter the server URL: https://app.plurality.network/mcp

  5. Name the server: plurality-memory

  6. Choose User settings (all projects) or Workspace settings (this project only).

  7. It will then ask to authenticate from your account and open the app.plurality.network webpage. After authentication you return back to vscode.

  8. If you want you can also edit the created mcp.json to authenticate via PAT.

Verify

In Copilot Chat (Agent mode), ask: "Search my Plurality memory for anything about [topic]." If Copilot calls search_memory and returns results, you're connected.

Troubleshoot

  • MCP: Add Server command not found. Update VS Code to 1.99 or later.

  • Tools missing in Copilot Chat. Make sure you're in Agent mode, not Ask or Edit mode.

  • 401 Unauthorized from the server. Your PAT is invalid, expired, or missing required scopes — regenerate it in Plurality, then run MCP: List Servers, pick the server, and reset stored inputs to re-enter it.

  • Tools fail to load after entering the PAT. Reload the VS Code window (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window).
