# VS Code

> Add ManyPI to GitHub Copilot in VS Code and sign in with your browser.

## Sign in with your browser

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the server">
    Create `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:

    ```json theme={null}
    { "servers": { "manypi": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.manypi.com/mcp" } } }
    ```

    Or add it for your user from a terminal:

    ```bash theme={null}
    code --add-mcp '{"name":"manypi","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.manypi.com/mcp"}'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start it">
    Run **MCP: List Servers** from the Command Palette, pick **manypi**, then
    **Start**. VS Code opens ManyPI in your browser for approval.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Open Copilot Chat in **Agent** mode. The ManyPI tools are in the tools
    picker.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use an API key instead

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "manypi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.manypi.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mpi_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}
```

<Note>
  Replace `mpi_your_api_key` with a key from **API Access** in the profile
  menu. It needs `read`, plus `agents` to find leads, `write` to draft emails
  and create sequences, campaigns and imports, and `outreach:send` to send.
  See [API keys and permissions](/platform/api-keys).
</Note>

## Try it

Ask your assistant something like:

```
Find 25 boutique fitness studios in Denver with an owner or manager email,
then draft a three-step sequence offering them a free trial week.
```
