VS Code - Equibles

VS Code

VS Code connects to the Equibles MCP server from Copilot agent mode, configured in an mcp.json file.

1. Install VS Code

Install VS Code with GitHub Copilot, and switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode.

2. Add the Equibles server

One command adds the server; Copilot signs you in over OAuth on first use — no key to manage:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"equibles","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp"}'

Prefer an API key? Create one at /dashboard/apikeys (it starts with eq_ and is shown once), then add Equibles to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or your user mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "equibles": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer eq_your_api_key" }
    }
  }
}

Prefer not to store the key in the file? Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and use an ${input:...} variable — VS Code prompts for the key and stores it securely.

3. Test it

Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and ask any of these — it should call an Equibles tool:

› Show me Apple's last five daily closes. Prices

› Who are NVIDIA's top institutional holders this quarter? 13F

› Summarize Microsoft's most recent earnings call. Earnings

Troubleshooting

Server not appearing?

After editing mcp.json, click Start on the server (or reload the window) — check the MCP servers list in the Command Palette shows Equibles running.

Model answers without Equibles data?

Make sure Copilot is in Agent mode and tell it explicitly to "use the Equibles MCP server".

401 / access denied?

Your key is missing or wrong — re-copy it from /dashboard/apikeys into the Authorization header. If you're over your daily limit, see Rate limits.
