VS Code

VS Code reads Ahel from an mcp.json file and uses it in Copilot Chat's agent mode.

From the VS Code docs, seen 2026-10-20. Not yet run end to end against Ahel from VS Code.

#Steps

1. Copy your address from Settings, then Connect AI.

2. In VS Code, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the command palette. For one project, use .vscode/mcp.json instead.

3. Add Ahel under servers:

   {
     "servers": {
       "ahel": { "type": "http", "url": "YOUR_ADDRESS" }
     }
   }
   

   Copy

4. Start the server from the file. VS Code opens a browser to sign in to Ahel the first time.

5. Open Copilot Chat in agent mode and ask for a pipeline.

MCP: Add Server in the command palette writes the same entry for you.

#With an access token

VS Code can ask for the token once and keep it hidden:

{
  "inputs": [
    { "type": "promptString", "id": "ahel-token", "description": "Ahel access token", "password": true }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "ahel": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "YOUR_ADDRESS",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:ahel-token}" }
    }
  }
}
