Connect VS Code (GitHub Copilot) to a Webex MCP server using token-based authentication with one-click install, or via OAuth.

anchorMethod 1: Token-based (WCIT)

VS Code with GitHub Copilot supports MCP elicitation, so you can authenticate with a WCIT token. Additional OAuth scopes required by specific tools are requested at runtime during tool calls — no integration setup needed.

Generate WCIT Token

Generate a WCIT token to connect using token-based authentication. The WCIT is issued with only the spark:mcp scope, which allows you to connect to the MCP server. Additional scopes required by specific tools are requested at runtime via MCP elicitation during tool calls.

Generate Token

Install

Paste your WCIT token and click Install.

After installing, click the Manage button and select Start Server to connect.

anchorMethod 2: OAuth via mcp-remote

Connect using a full OAuth flow with mcp-remote.

Add the following to your VS Code MCP configuration (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "<MCP_SERVER_URL>",
        "<PORT>"
        "--static-oauth-client-info",
        "{\"client_id\":\"<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>\",\"client_secret\":\"<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>\"}"
      ],
      "type": "stdio"
    }
  }
}

<YOUR_CLIENT_ID> and <YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET> are from your Webex OAuth 2.0 Integration.

<PORT> can be any available port on your machine. Make sure to register the matching callback URI (http://localhost:<PORT>/oauth/callback) when creating your Webex OAuth 2.0 Integration.
