# Install: VS Code

> Set up Unblocked MCP with VS Code's built-in MCP support and GitHub Copilot agent mode.

Unblocked MCP works with VS Code's built-in MCP support, including GitHub Copilot agent mode.

## Quick install (macOS)

Run the following command to install Unblocked MCP:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://getunblocked.com/install-mcp.sh | bash
```

This will download the Unblocked CLI and configure your supported tools and agents automatically.

<Note>
  The install script is currently supported on macOS only. Windows and Linux users should use the manual install instructions below.
</Note>

## Manual install (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Add the remote Unblocked MCP server to VS Code:

1. Select **MCP: Add Server** from the command palette
2. Select **HTTP** as the server type
3. Enter `https://getunblocked.com/api/mcpsse` as the server URL
4. Name the server `unblocked`

Alternatively, add the server to your workspace's `.vscode/mcp.json` file directly:

```json theme={null}
{
  "servers": {
    "unblocked": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getunblocked.com/api/mcpsse"
    }
  }
}
```

After saving, start the server from the MCP view or when prompted. VS Code will prompt you to authenticate with Unblocked via OAuth.

<Note>
  To share the server with your whole team, commit the `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository. Each user authenticates with their own Unblocked account.
