# Connect Qwairy to GitHub Copilot in VS Code

> Yes. Add Qwairy to GitHub Copilot in VS Code as an HTTP MCP server and sign in with OAuth, using https://mcp.qwairy.co. Organization policy may apply.

Qwairy works with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code as a remote HTTP MCP server. You add the server to VS Code, sign in with OAuth, and ask Copilot Chat questions about your brands. The connection is read-only.

This page covers GitHub Copilot in VS Code. It does not cover Microsoft 365 Copilot or Copilot Studio.

## Before you start

* Access to a Qwairy team on a **Starter plan or higher**. You can connect before monitoring has run. Queries return data once a live brand has generated responses.
* Visual Studio Code with the GitHub Copilot extension and a GitHub Copilot plan
* On **Copilot Business and Enterprise**, an administrator must enable the **MCP servers in Copilot** policy: under **Settings > Copilot > Policies** for an organization, or **AI controls > MCP** for an enterprise. An enterprise policy can override the organization setting. Without it, Copilot cannot use MCP servers for those members.

## Connect Qwairy to GitHub Copilot

**1. Add the server**

Open the Command Palette and run **MCP: Add Server**. Choose an HTTP server and enter:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.qwairy.co
```

Enter `qwairy` as the server name. Choose **Global** for all workspaces or **Workspace** for the current repository, and trust the server when VS Code asks.

The equivalent configuration in `.vscode/mcp.json` (workspace) or your user `mcp.json` (global) is:

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "qwairy": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.qwairy.co"
    }
  }
}
```

**2. Sign in to Qwairy**

Open `mcp.json` and click **Start** above the `qwairy` entry. VS Code opens the Qwairy sign-in page in your browser. Sign in with the Qwairy account that has access to your brands and approve the access.

**3. Return to VS Code**

Return to VS Code. The `qwairy` server is running once sign-in completes. The actions above the entry in `mcp.json` let you stop or restart it.

## Check that the connection works

First confirm the server in VS Code: open the Command Palette, run **MCP: List Servers**, and check that `qwairy` is listed and running.

Then open Copilot Chat in a mode that can use tools and send:

```text theme={null}
Use Qwairy to list the brands I can access.
```

Copilot should call Qwairy's `list_brands` tool and display the accessible brands. Approve the tool call if Copilot asks. A general answer without a tool call does not confirm the connection.

## Troubleshooting

### Copilot does not use Qwairy

On Copilot Business and Enterprise, ask an organization owner to enable the **MCP servers in Copilot** policy. Then run **MCP: List Servers** and check that `qwairy` is running, and that its tools are enabled in the Copilot Chat tool picker.

### The server does not start or needs authentication

Run **MCP: List Servers**, select `qwairy`, and choose **Show Output** to read the error. Choose **Restart Server** to sign in again. Check that the URL is `https://mcp.qwairy.co` without `/mcp` and that the JSON is valid.

### Authorization fails

Sign in with the Qwairy account that has access to your brands, and check that its team is on a Starter plan or higher. See [general troubleshooting](/mcp/getting-started.md#troubleshooting).
