GuidesMCP Client Setup
VS Code
Connect Astrocal to VS Code (Copilot agent mode) with one-click install or a config file.
One-click install
The AI Tools screen has Install in VS Code and VS Code Insiders buttons that add Astrocal for Copilot agent mode (enabled once you create a key, since the deeplink embeds it).
Manual config
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. VS Code uses the servers key:
{
"servers": {
"astrocal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@astrocal/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"ASTROCAL_API_KEY": "ac_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
}
}
}Enable agent mode in Copilot Chat and the Astrocal tools become available.
Create a key on the AI Tools screen to fill this snippet, or use the one-click buttons there. Raw keys are shown only once.
