# VS Code

> Add the Langmail MCP server to VS Code and use it from Copilot agent mode.

VS Code supports remote MCP servers in Copilot agent mode (VS Code 1.102 or later).

## Prerequisites

* A Langmail account — [sign up at app.langmail.me](https://app.langmail.me).
* [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) with GitHub Copilot.

## Connect

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the server">
    From the terminal:

    ```sh theme={null}
    code --add-mcp '{"name":"langmail","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.langmail.me/mcp"}'
    ```

    Or add it to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your workspace:

    ```json .vscode/mcp.json theme={null}
    {
      "servers": {
        "langmail": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://mcp.langmail.me/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```

    You can also run **MCP: Add Server** from the command palette and choose **HTTP**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize access">
    Start the server from the play button in `mcp.json` or via **MCP: List Servers**. VS Code prompts you to authorize — the browser opens for Langmail sign-in and consent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Open the Chat view in agent mode and check the tools menu: the Langmail tools are listed under **langmail**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Test it

Ask the agent:

```text Prompt theme={null}
List my Langmail calendars.
```

It calls `list_calendars` and returns your calendars with their CalDAV URLs.

## Ending access

Remove the `langmail` entry from `mcp.json` (or via **MCP: List Servers**). Removing it discards its tokens; without the refresh token, access lapses when the current access token expires.
