VS Code

VS Code’s Copilot Chat agent mode supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP via an mcp.json file. VS Code’s schema uses a servers key (not mcpServers) with an explicit "type": "http".

Get a Poix Token

If you don’t already have one, create a poix- Token in the Dashboard. See Authentication for details.

Create or open your MCP config

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, or create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace directly.

Add the Poix server

{
  "servers": {
    "poix": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.poix.io",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer poix-…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace poix-… with your actual Token, then save the file.

Verify the connection

Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, and check the tools icon — poix should appear with its tools listed. You can now ask Copilot to search YouTube, pull video or channel details, or fetch captions directly.
