# VS Code MCP Configuration Guide
## Configure GitHub Copilot to Use HC3 MCP Server
1. **In the Extension Development Host window**, open User Settings (JSON):
- Press `Cmd+Shift+P`
- Type "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)"
- Select it
2. **Add this configuration** (replace `your_actual_password` with your HC3 password):
```json
{
"github.copilot.chat.experimental.mcpServers": {
"hc3-smart-home": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/jangabrielsson/Documents/dev/HC3_mcp/out/mcp/hc3-mcp-server.js"],
"env": {
"FIBARO_HOST": "192.168.1.57",
"FIBARO_USERNAME": "admin",
"FIBARO_PASSWORD": "your_actual_password",
"FIBARO_PORT": "80"
}
}
}
}
```
3. **Save the settings file** and **restart the Extension Development Host window**
4. **Test in Copilot Chat** with:
- **Important**: Start a new chat session after extension setup
- "List my HC3 devices"
- "What smart home devices do I have?"
- "@hc3-smart-home get all devices"
**Troubleshooting**: If tools aren't available, start a new GitHub Copilot chat session.
## Alternative: Test with Claude Desktop
If you have Claude Desktop installed, you can test there too:
1. **Edit** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
2. **Add** the same configuration but under `"mcpServers"` instead
3. **Restart Claude Desktop**
## Troubleshooting
- Make sure the path to `hc3-mcp-server.js` is correct
- Replace the password with your actual HC3 password
- Ensure your HC3 system is accessible at 192.168.1.57
