MCP Server

Connect your data to VS Code

Use VS Code to query your databases, explore schemas, and run analyses — powered by Sequel's MCP server. Pick a data source to get started.

Setup

Add Sequel to VS Code

One config block is all it takes. Replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys, then restart VS Code.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "type": "http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with GitHub Copilot in VS Code?

Yes. VS Code's MCP support is available in GitHub Copilot Chat (VS Code 1.99+). Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root with the config above, and Sequel tools will appear in Copilot Chat.

Do I need the GitHub Copilot subscription?

VS Code MCP requires GitHub Copilot Chat (Individual, Business, or Enterprise plan). The MCP configuration itself is free; you only need a Sequel API key and a Copilot subscription.

Can I configure this globally instead of per-project?

Yes. Add the server configuration to your VS Code user settings.json under the `mcp.servers` key for global access across all projects.

Is the .vscode/mcp.json file safe to commit?

The config file is safe to commit — but never commit your actual API key in it. Use an environment variable reference or instruct team members to replace the placeholder with their own key.
