# Connect VS Code to BCTRL MCP

> Add the BCTRL MCP server to VS Code with GitHub Copilot for hosted cloud-browser automation.

Add BCTRL to `.vscode/mcp.json` (workspace) or your user MCP configuration. The top-level key is `servers` and the remote type is `http`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "bctrl": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Or add it from the command line:

```bash
code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"bctrl\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp\"}"
```

VS Code runs the MCP OAuth flow automatically, with dynamic client registration — a browser opens on first connect. You can also add servers from the Command Palette with **MCP: Add Server → HTTP**, and manage them with **MCP: List Servers**.
