The config is JSON and the file to edit is mcp.json. MCPpedia currently has 41973 published MCP servers have an install config for VS Code. The highest trust scores right now are Repowise at 83, Awesome Copilot MCP Server at 77, brightdata-mcp at 76. Open a server and copy the VS Code tab, then fill in secrets yourself. MCPpedia never stores those values.
