Add the server
1

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P, or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and run
MCP: Add Server, or open Chat: Open Customizations > MCP Servers
and select Add Server. Choose the HTTP server type.
2
Enter the URL
Enter
https://mcp.hi-doctor.ai/mcp and name the server hi-doctor.3
Choose where to save it
Choose where to save it: the workspace (
.vscode/mcp.json, or the
portable .mcp.json when VS Code offers it) or a global destination such
as Copilot Global, which applies to every workspace..vscode/mcp.json is the workspace file every VS Code install reads. It uses
a top-level servers object:
.vscode/mcp.json
The portable .mcp.json file
VS Code offers the portable .mcp.json destination (top-level mcpServers)
when its workspace-root configuration setting is enabled; it is marked
experimental. Use one format per file; do not put a servers object in
.mcp.json or an mcpServers object in .vscode/mcp.json.
.mcp.json
Trust and sign-in
Servers saved in the workspace inherit the workspace’s trust: in a trusted workspace they start without a separate prompt. Servers from other sources show a trust dialog when they first start or when their configuration changes. When the server starts, VS Code opens Hi Doctor’s sign-in page in your browser. Sign in and approve as described on Connect. No client ID, secret or header is needed in the configuration.Choose the tools
In the Chat view, pick the agent, then select Configure Tools and tick the Hi Doctor tools the agent may use. You can also reference a tool directly in a prompt with#. Select only the Hi Doctor tools you need; a long tool list
crowds the agent’s context, and VS Code caps how many tools one chat request
can have enabled.
Use MCP: List Servers to start, stop or restart the server and to open its
output log.
Disconnect
Run MCP: List Servers, selecthi-doctor and stop it, then delete its entry
from .vscode/mcp.json (or .mcp.json) or from your global configuration. See
Disconnecting for how long access already issued
lasts.

Do I need a client ID to use Hi Doctor in VS Code?
No. Add only the server URL. VS Code registers itself with Hi Doctor and opens the sign-in page in your browser.Should I use .mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json?
Use .vscode/mcp.json unless VS Code offers the portable .mcp.json destination in your setup. Each file has its own format, so do not mix them.Does VS Code ask me to trust the Hi Doctor server?
Not when it is saved in a trusted workspace: workspace servers inherit its trust and start without a separate prompt. Servers from other sources show a trust dialog first.Do I have to enable every Hi Doctor tool?
No. Under Configure Tools tick only the tools you need; a long list crowds the agent’s context.How do I stop or restart the Hi Doctor server?
Run MCP: List Servers to start, stop or restart it and to open its output log.Next steps
