Overview

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is an integrated development environment

Visual Studio Code use MCP to connect to the Platform MCP Server. Once connected, the MCP client can use MCP tools to access and interact with Intelligent Risk Platform documentation, developer resources, and tenant data.

Configure with One-Click Installation

In Visual Studio 2026, MCP servers can be installed directly from the Web using one-click install. Select the Install button on an MCP server to automatically install it and add it to your Visual Studio instance.

To configure connection:

1. One-click install (GitHub Copilot agent mode):

   Region	Install
   Americas (US)
   Europe (EU)

On first connect, VS Code prompts for the key:
To add the API key:

1. Open Command Palette and add the Authorization header:

{
  ],
  "servers": {
    "irp-integration-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api-use1.rms.com/platform/integration/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "${input:irp_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Ensure the that the domain of specified MCP Server URL is the correct region-specific domain. The domain specified in the MCP Server endpoint must match the domain specified in the tenant's host domain. See [Platform MCP Server Endpoints]

Missing Authorization Header

If VS Code opens a browser window or OAuth prompt for this server, your configuration is missing the Authorization header.

Can't Reach This Page Error

Some corporate networks block vscode.dev.

The install still works without it: copy the vscode:mcp/install?… protocol link from the [generated links file] and paste it into your browser's address bar. — it hands off straight to VS Code with no website in between.

Configure Platform MCP Server Connection Manually

To manually configure a connection to the Platform MCP server, open Command Palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P or CMD+SHIFT+P) > MCP:Open User Configuration.

The domain of the MCP Server endpoint must match the tenant's Intelligent Risk Platform domain.

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "irp_api_key",
      "description": "IRP API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "irp-integration-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api-use1.rms.com/platform/integration/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "${input:irp_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Ensure the that the domain of specified MCP Server URL is the correct region-specific domain. The domain specified in the MCP Server endpoint must match the domain specified in the tenant's host domain. See [Platform MCP Server Endpoints]

Validate Configuration

To confirm that the MCP Server is connected, open the Command Palette () > MCP: List Servers > irp-integration-mcp.

The Platform MCP Server is displayed as running. Platform MCP Server tools are displayed Copilot agent mode's tools picker.

To re-enter a mistyped key, use "MCP: List Servers" → irp-integration-mcp → Clear saved inputs, then restart the server.
