VS Code with GitHub Copilot supports MCP servers for extended AI capabilities. You can add pflow with one-click install or manual setup.

Click the button below to add pflow to VS Code: Install pflow in VS Code If the button doesn’t work, use the web redirect: Install via vscode.dev

Manual setup

​
1. Open your MCP config file

User config (all projects): ~/.vscode/mcp.json Workspace config (single project): .vscode/mcp.json

​
2. Add pflow to your config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pflow": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "pflow",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

​
3. Reload VS Code

Reload the window or restart VS Code to load the new MCP server.

  2. Try the web redirect link instead
  3. Fall back to manual setup
