Cursor, VS Code and Copilot

Cursor

Open this link on the machine that runs Cursor:
```
cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=korala&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5rb3JhbGEuYWkvbWNwIn0=
```
The config value is the base64 encoding of {"url":"https://api.korala.ai/mcp"}.
Confirm the install in Cursor.
Open the Customize page in Cursor’s sidebar, where Cursor manages MCP servers, and sign in next to korala.
Approve the connection on Korala’s consent page. See Permissions and safety.

To skip the link, add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and continue from step 3:


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "korala": {
      "url": "https://api.korala.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code and GitHub Copilot

Open this link on the machine that runs VS Code, then confirm the install:


vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22korala%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.korala.ai%2Fmcp%22%7D

Or run code --add-mcp '{"name":"korala","type":"http","url":"https://api.korala.ai/mcp"}'. Both add Korala to your user configuration.

To share Korala with everyone who opens a workspace:

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:


{
  "servers": {
    "korala": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.korala.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use a Korala tool from chat. VS Code shows a trust prompt before it first starts the server. VS Code then asks you to sign in.
Approve the connection on Korala’s consent page.

The file holds the address and no credentials, so you can commit it. Each teammate signs in with their own Korala account.

VS Code names the top-level key servers, where most clients use mcpServers.

GitHub Copilot CLI

Add the server:


copilot mcp add --transport http korala https://api.korala.ai/mcp

Start copilot and sign in to Korala when it asks.
Approve the connection on Korala’s consent page.

The command writes to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:


{
  "mcpServers": {
    "korala": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.korala.ai/mcp",
      "tools": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

Copilot CLI also installs Claude Code plugins, so the Korala plugin with its skill works there too:


copilot plugin marketplace add korala-ai/claude-plugins
copilot plugin install korala@korala

Copilot’s cloud agent and code review cannot sign in to remote servers. To give them Korala, use the API key setup with a local server and the key in repository secrets.
