Connect / VS Code

Connect OntoRamp to VS Code

Add OntoRamp to VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode) via mcp.json.

Works with GitHub Copilot in VS Code 1.102 or later, including Copilot Free.

Before you start

You need an OntoRamp API key — get one free at ontoramp.com/mcp. Keys arrive by email within 60 seconds and are passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. If your tool asks for an API key directly, paste just the key — the header is added for you.

Server URLs

Setup

Each server in the table above is its own connection — repeat the setup (or add another config entry) for each one you want.

1. 1.Create or open .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette for a user-level setup).
2. 2.Add the OntoRamp server using the snippet below — the inputs block prompts for your key once and stores it masked, instead of hardcoding it.
3. 3.Save, then click Start above the server entry (accept the trust dialog) and enter your key when prompted.
4. 4.Open Chat (Ctrl+Alt+I, or Ctrl+Cmd+I on macOS), switch to Agent, and click Configure Tools to confirm the OntoRamp tools are enabled.
