Copilot agent mode with your Brain.

Drop Make0 into VS Code MCP config so Copilot agent mode can retrieve portable memory while you code.

Connect VS Code Copilot All apps and agents

01 · Why connect

VS Code Copilot agent mode supports MCP servers in .vscode/mcp.json. Prefer HTTP; Copilot policies may restrict some servers.

VS Code tries HTTP-stream first. Workspace trust and Copilot/org policies can block custom MCP servers. The Make0 MCP URL is https://make0.ai/mcp. VS Code Copilot can sign in with OAuth on any plan, or use an API key on Pro and Max. Either way, you pick which brains it can use.

02 · How to connect VS Code Copilot

Install Make0 Brain in 4 steps

  1. 01

    Enable Copilot agent mode

    Install GitHub Copilot Chat and use a plan that includes agent mode / MCP.

  2. 02

    Add mcp.json

    Create .vscode/mcp.json with type http and url https://make0.ai/mcp.

  3. 03

    Start the server

    Use VS Code’s MCP editor UI to start Make0 Brain and complete OAuth.

  4. 04

    Run Agent

    In agent mode, ask Copilot to look up a preference stored in Make0 Brain.

03 · .vscode/mcp.json

Copy this into VS Code Copilot

Use HTTP or Streamable HTTP. Do not wrap Make0 as a local stdio command. This config signs in with OAuth.

{
  "servers": {
    "make0-brain": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://make0.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

04 · API key

Or connect with an API key

On Pro and Max you can skip the sign-in and use an API key. In Make0, open Connect Brain via MCP, choose API key MCP, and create a key with the brains and access it needs. Use an input so VS Code prompts for the key once and stores it securely, instead of saving it in mcp.json.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "make0-api-key",
      "description": "Make0 API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "make0-brain": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://make0.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:make0-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_MAKE0_API_KEY with your key. Make0 shows a key once, so keep it somewhere safe. You can revoke it any time in Settings.

05 · System instruction

Tell the agent to prefer Make0 Brain

Paste this into VS Code Copilot’s system instructions or custom instructions so it reads and writes memory through Make0 instead of its own store.

Make0 Brain is my source of truth for durable memory. Always search it before answering about me, my work, people, preferences, or past decisions. Save lasting facts and decisions to Brain. Never guess or invent memories. Use Brain exclusively for durable memory.

Questions

Connecting VS Code Copilot

How do I connect Make0 Brain to VS Code Copilot?+

Add Make0 as a remote HTTP MCP server using https://make0.ai/mcp. In the Make0 connect dialog, choose OAuth and VS Code Copilot will open a sign-in so you can pick which brains it can use. On Pro or Max, if VS Code Copilot accepts custom headers, you can choose API key MCP instead and send the key to this URL as Authorization: Bearer.

What is the Make0 MCP URL?+

The production Make0 Brain MCP endpoint is https://make0.ai/mcp. Use HTTP or Streamable HTTP if the client asks for a transport. Server name: make0-brain.

Does Make0 Brain MCP use OAuth?+

Yes. Compatible clients discover OAuth from the MCP server, you sign in to Make0, and you grant read or write access to specific brains. Two-factor authentication may be required.

Can I use an API key instead of OAuth?+

On Pro or Max, yes, for apps that let you set an HTTP header. Open Connect Brain via MCP, choose API key MCP, and create a key for specific brains or all brains. Send it to https://make0.ai/mcp as Authorization: Bearer. OAuth works on every plan; Free and Lite use OAuth.
