GitHub Copilot

VS Code with GitHub Copilot supports Remote MCP servers via streamable HTTP. Requires VS Code 1.101+ and an active Copilot subscription.

Add the server

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run MCP: Add Server. Select HTTP, then paste the Aurora MCP endpoint:

https://mcp.ai.consilio.com

Choose Workspace to write to .vscode/mcp.json (shareable with your team) or User for a global config.

Alternatively, edit the file directly:

{
  "servers": {
    "consilio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.ai.consilio.com"
    }
  }
}

No client ID, client secret, or scope list is needed — VS Code discovers everything via RFC 9728.

Authorise

On first use, VS Code opens your browser to auth.ai.consilio.com. Sign in with your Consilio portal credentials and approve the connection. VS Code stores the token securely and refreshes it automatically.

If the browser prompt doesn’t appear, open mcp.json and click the Auth CodeLens above the server entry to trigger it manually.

Verify

1. Open Copilot Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I / Ctrl+Cmd+I).
2. Switch to Agent mode in the dropdown at the bottom of the chat panel.
3. Click the tools icon — Aurora MCP tools should be listed.

Try:

Show me my active matters for Blackstone.

Your assistant will invoke the searchMatters tool and return your matters.

Troubleshooting

• Command Palette → MCP: List Servers — check the server shows as running.
• MCP: Reset Cached Tools — clears stale tool metadata and reconnects.
• Show Output — click the server entry to inspect connection logs.
