# Using VS Code with DataDoe MCP

Use VS Code when you want to stay in the editor and still query DataDoe through an MCP-enabled assistant (GitHub Copilot Chat or similar).

![VS Code connector setup steps](/hub-files/mcp/datadoe/vs-code-connector.png)

## Prerequisites

- VS Code with an MCP-capable extension installed (GitHub Copilot Chat or similar).
- A DataDoe MCP key. Create one in [DataDoe MCP Integrations](https://app.datadoe.com/integrations/mcp).

## Step 1: Add the DataDoe MCP server

Add this to `.vscode/mcp.json` (project-scoped) or your user `mcp.json` (global):

```json
{
    "servers": {
        "datadoe": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.datadoe.com/mcp/v1",
            "headers": {
                "datadoe-mcp-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your DataDoe MCP key.

## Step 2: Reload VS Code

Reload the VS Code window (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → **Developer: Reload Window**) so the MCP-enabled extension picks up the new server.

## Step 3: Test the connection

Run a prompt that uses DataDoe data, for example:

```
Show me my Amazon Seller Central sales for the last 7 days.
```

If your assistant returns real data, you're connected.

## Starter project

Want a working starting point? Clone our [VS Code template repository](https://github.com/Deltologic/datadoe-mcp-vs-code-co-pilot) - it ships preconfigured.
