# Connect GitHub Copilot Chat to Wikilayer ## Copilot Free Install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) and its [GitHub Copilot extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot), then sign in with GitHub. Copilot Free is enough to connect an MCP server; conversations use its included credits.  ## Add the server Open the Command Palette with `Cmd+Shift+P`, run **MCP: Add Server**, and choose **HTTP (HTTP or Server-Sent Events)**.   Enter the Wikilayer MCP URL: ```text https://wikilayer.org/mcp ```  Use `WikiLayer` as the Server ID.  ## Authorize access VS Code asks whether the MCP server may authenticate to Wikilayer. Press **Allow**, sign in to Wikilayer in the browser, and approve access.  ## Check the server VS Code opens its user `mcp.json`. The CodeLens above `WikiLayer` should show **Running** and a tool count.  ## What's next Try [a first question](block:5548) in Copilot Chat's **Agent** mode. When Copilot calls **List wikis — WikiLayer (MCP Server)**, the connection is working.  --- ## Links here - [Set up MCP](page:4400)
