VS Code

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.

Add the Geekflare skill

Once the MCP server is connected, install the Geekflare agent skill so VS Code (GitHub Copilot) knows when and how to use each Geekflare tool:

npx skills add geekflare/geekflare-skills

See Agent Skills for details.

Usage Examples

Open GitHub Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I), switch to Agent mode, and try: Scrape a webpage

Use Geekflare to scrape https://example.com and extract the main body text.

Metadata scraping

Fetch the meta tags from https://geekflare.com and show me the SEO title and description.

Search

Search for "VS Code MCP extensions" and give me the top results.

DNS lookup

Look up the A and MX records for github.com.
