}All Copilot plans support MCP — Free, Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise. Free tier includes 50 PREMIUM REQUESTS PER MONTH shared across all Copilot chat features (agent mode, chat, code review). Important nuance: only the prompts you send count against the limit — autonomous tool calls made by the agent (which is most of what Agentcy does) DO NOT consume the quota. VS Code uses a servers root key (NOT mcpServers) with a type field set to http. MCP servers are only visible in Copilot Chat Agent mode — not Ask or Edit. For Copilot Business/Enterprise, an org admin must enable the “MCP servers in Copilot” policy in GitHub org settings (off by default). Alternative install paths: Extensions view → search @mcp, or Command Palette → Chat: Open Chat Customizations (Preview, new in VS Code 1.115).
