Connect VS Code to Tandem

GitHub Copilot's agent mode in VS Code connects to Tandem as an HTTP server and signs in through your browser.

Steps

1. Add Tandem to .vscode/mcp.json, or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette.
2. Start the server and sign in when asked.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "tandem": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.tandemcrm.app/mcp" }
  }
}

How it signs in

VS Code signs in with OAuth: it registers itself with Tandem, opens your browser, and you sign in, choose a workspace and approve what it may do (read, suggest, write, delete). It gets crm:read and crm:write unless you approve less. Disconnect it any time under Agents in Tandem.

Try it

Ask VS Code: "Which Tandem workspace are you connected to, and what can you do there?" Then try "Add acme.com to Tandem with the details from its website."

See the tools reference for everything VS Code can do, and permissions for what each scope allows.
