VS Code

Add Hive to VS Code through .vscode/mcp.json.

Requires VS Code 1.102 or newer.

Add the server

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "hive": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers, and needs the explicit "type": "http".

VS Code opens browser authorization on first use and stores the credential outside this file, so .vscode/mcp.json is safe to commit.

Verify

Reload the window, open Copilot Chat in agent mode, and ask for something live. Hive’s tools appear in the tool picker once discovery completes.
