Use VS Code when Fortress should be available to GitHub Copilot Agent mode.

​
Choose config location

VS Code MCP configuration can live in the user profile or in a workspace file: 
.vscode/mcp.json
Use user-level config for personal bearer tokens. If you use workspace config, keep .vscode/mcp.json out of version control unless the token is replaced with a secure input variable.

​
Add Fortress

Generate a VS Code setup snippet in Fortress and paste it into mcp.json: 
{
  "servers": {
    "fortress-agent": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.fortressproductivity.com/mcp?agent_id=<agent-id>",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ft_<token>"
      }
    }
  }
}
VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers, and HTTP servers require type: "http".

Verify

Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, enable the Fortress server in the tools picker, and ask Copilot to read fortress://workspace/overview. See VS Code’s MCP configuration reference.
