Syncing MCP Servers
This skill ensures MCP server configurations stay in sync between VS Code (repo-level) and Copilot CLI (user-level).
Why This Exists
VS Code and Copilot CLI use different config files with different JSON formats for MCP servers. Neither reads the other's config. This skill bridges that gap.
| Platform | Config File | Top-Level Key | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| VS Code | .vscode/mcp.json |
"servers" |
Per-workspace (repo, checked into git) |
| Copilot CLI | ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json |
"mcpServers" |
Per-user (global, all repos) |
