GitHub Copilot

Connect GitHub Copilot to Ainecto via MCP.

Add the Ainecto MCP server​

Copilot's MCP support is configured through the IDE-specific Copilot settings (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.). The general pattern:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "ainecto": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://ainecto.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload your IDE (or the Copilot extension). The first Ainecto tool call opens the OAuth page in your browser.

Copilot's MCP integration is evolving — consult the GitHub Copilot MCP docs for the exact location and schema for your IDE.

Try it​

In Copilot Chat:

@ainecto list my ERD documents
@ainecto in ERD document <uuid>, what tables reference users.id?

Copilot will run the appropriate Ainecto tools and inline the results.

Tips​

  • Use Copilot Chat for read-heavy queries - listing ERD documents, looking up columns, tracing FK chains - and let it generate code based on the real schema.
  • For writes, be explicit — describe the change clearly and always include a description so the version snapshot is meaningful.
  • Pin the ERD document in your session - start the chat with "use ERD document <uuid>" so Copilot doesn't have to re-resolve every turn.

Troubleshooting​

Copilot doesn't see ainecto Check the IDE-specific Copilot extension settings; restart the IDE.

OAuth doesn't trigger Try invoking a tool call that requires auth (for example, @ainecto mcp__ainecto__list_documents type=erd). The flow starts on demand.

"plan does not include MCP" MCP requires a paid Ainecto plan. See Plans.
