Install: VS Code

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

Quick install (macOS and Linux)

Run the following command to install Unblocked MCP:

curl -fsSL https://getunblocked.com/install-mcp.sh | bash

The script downloads the Unblocked CLI and sets up your supported agents.

The install script supports macOS and Linux. On Windows, follow the install guide for your app.

Manual install (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Add the remote Unblocked MCP server to VS Code:

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

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

{
  "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.

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.
