OrbitOrca
MCPConnect an agent

VS Code

Connect VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode) to OrbitOrca by adding one block to its MCP config.

VS Code reads MCP servers from an mcp.json file — either your user-level one, available in every workspace, or a .vscode/mcp.json inside a project.

Get a token

Open the dashboard's Connect an agent page and create a token. Read & write is the recommended choice — it lets the agent deploy, restart, and manage your apps hands-free. Pick read-only if the agent should only look. The full token is shown once, at creation — copy it now.

Add the server

Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the command palette to open your user mcp.json (or create .vscode/mcp.json in a workspace), and add this block with your token in place of {{token}}:

{
  "servers": {
    "orbitorca": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.orbitorca.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {{token}}"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code picks the server up as soon as you save; if the agent doesn't see it, run MCP: List Servers and start it from there.

Try it

In Copilot chat, in agent mode, ask it to "list my OrbitOrca apps". If it comes back with your apps, you're connected.

The dashboard's Connect an agent page generates this block with your token already filled in — copy it from there if you'd rather not edit by hand.

Next: what a token can and can't do.
