VS Code - Geekflare

Visual Studio Code supports MCP servers through GitHub Copilot’s agent mode. With Geekflare connected, Copilot can get the webpage context, fetch information from the Internet and run network tools to check DNS records, broken links, site availability, etc.

Setup

User Settings (Global)
Workspace (.vscode/mcp.json)
Local via npx

Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and open Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON). Add:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "geekflare": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.geekflare.com/YOUR_API_KEY/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root to share the config with your team:

{
  "servers": {
    "geekflare": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.geekflare.com/YOUR_API_KEY/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Do not commit your API key to version control. Use an environment variable or .env file and add .vscode/mcp.json to .gitignore.

Requires Node.js installed locally.

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "geekflare": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@geekflare/mcp"],
        "env": {
          "API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your Geekflare API key.
