Use with GitHub Copilot

Copilot's agent mode in VS Code can call MCP tools. Connect the Search Stack MCP server and it can search your index, import records and manage lists while it works on your code.

1. Install

Add to VS Code

Or by hand in .vscode/mcp.json for one workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "searchstack": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.searchstack.dev/"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

The first call opens a browser to authorise VS Code against your Search Stack account. To use a key instead, add a header:

{
  "servers": {
    "searchstack": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.searchstack.dev/",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Grab one from the console. A read-only key lets Copilot query; a read/write key lets it import and manage records.

3. Use it

Open Chat, switch to Agent mode, and check the tools picker lists searchstack. Then ask:

“What's in my products list for 'waterproof jacket'?”
“Import catalogue.csv into products.”

The talk-to-your-data lesson shows which tool gets called for a given request, and what comes back.
