What this does

Connect VS Code (Copilot) to your vault via MCP.

Requirements

  • VS Code with GitHub Copilot / Copilot Chat installed
  • An OmegaVault account (free plan works)
  • Your OmegaVault MCP endpoint + personal access token (Settings → Connectors)

Setup

  1. Get your OmegaVault credentials. Settings → Connectors → VS Code. Copy the endpoint URL and access token.
  2. Open the Copilot MCP config. In VS Code, open the command palette and run MCP: List Servers, then add a new server. The exact command name varies by VS Code version — see the official docs below.
  3. Add OmegaVault as a remote MCP server. Paste your endpoint and token into the server config. VS Code persists it in your user settings.
  4. Reload the window. Run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette so Copilot Chat picks up the new server.
  5. Use it in Copilot Chat. Open Copilot Chat. Your memories are now context. Prefix a prompt with your vault query, or ask Copilot to save a snippet as a memory.

Notes & caveats

The VS Code MCP support ships in the Copilot Chat extension. If you don't see the MCP option, update Copilot to the latest version.
