VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Use Docsumo MCP with agent mode in VS Code.

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.102+ with GitHub Copilot
Your Docsumo API key from Settings → API & Webhooks

Setup

Run the MCP: Open User Configuration command (or create .vscode/mcp.json in a workspace to share it with your team — without the key, see below).
Add the Docsumo server:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "docsumo-api-key",
      "description": "Docsumo API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "docsumo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.docsumo.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:docsumo-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Click Start above the server entry (or run MCP: List Servers → docsumo → Start). VS Code prompts for your API key once and stores it securely — it never sits in the JSON file, so this config is safe to commit.

Verify

Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode, click the tools icon, and confirm the Docsumo tools are listed. Then try:

"Use Docsumo to list documents still in review."
