# Install TryRoki MCP in VS Code

> Add TryRoki to VS Code and GitHub Copilot Chat with mcp.json.

Use this guide for Visual Studio Code with Copilot Chat. Get your API key from the [TryRoki MCP integration page](https://app.tryroki.com/contentgen/integrations/mcp) before you start.

## Install in your project

Create or open `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project.

Paste this configuration:

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "tryroki": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.tryroki.com/mcp/articles",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your real TryRoki API key, then save the file.

## Install for all projects

If you want TryRoki available across projects, run **MCP: Open User Configuration** from the Command Palette and add the same `tryroki` server to that user-level file.

## Start the server

When VS Code sees the new MCP configuration, it asks whether you trust the server. Confirm trust so VS Code can discover the TryRoki tools.

## Check that it worked

Open Copilot Chat and ask:

```text theme={null}
Use TryRoki to list my articles.
```

If VS Code shows TryRoki tools or asks permission to call one, the setup is working.
