GitHub Copilot Setup

Configure Glider with GitHub Copilot Chat (VS Code).

GitHub Copilot

Prerequisite: .NET 10 SDK must be installed before running dotnet tool install --global glider.

dotnet tool install --global glider

VS Code launches stdio MCP servers via command. Make sure glider is available on PATH.

# bash/zsh
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools"
which glider

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your repo. VS Code MCP docs: code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers.

{
  "servers": {
    "glider": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "glider",
      "args": ["--default-timeout", "30m"]
    }
  }
}

If you prefer Streamable HTTP, start Glider yourself and configure VS Code with http://localhost:5001/mcp.

glider --transport http --default-timeout 30m

{
  "servers": {
    "glider": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:5001/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reload the window to apply changes. If you prefer global setup, configure MCP servers in your VS Code user settings (see GitHub docs above).
