VS Code + GitHub Copilot

​
Setup

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root: 
{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "scrapebadger-api-key",
      "description": "ScrapeBadger API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "scrapebadger": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.scrapebadger.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:scrapebadger-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}
VS Code uses "servers" — not "mcpServers". This is different from every other tool.

​
How It Works

The inputs array creates a secure prompt for your API key. VS Code will ask for it on first use and store it securely — no hardcoded keys in your config.

​
Verify

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) > “MCP: List Servers”. ScrapeBadger should appear.
MCP tools only work in Copilot Agent mode, not Ask or Edit mode.
ScrapeBadger exposes 92 tools (Twitter, Google, Vinted, Web Scraping). For Google specifically, try:
“@workspace Use Google Search to find the official Python 3.13 release notes and summarize the new features”
Copilot will call google_search and process the structured response.
