**Don’t Worry, It’s Not Skynet: Giving Tool Access to VS Code via MCP (Model Context Protocol)**

What could go wrong giving tools access to an AI??? Don’t worry – this isn’t sci-fi doom; it’s the much friendlier MCP (Model Context Protocol) that lets your coding AI call external tools and data sources. Now, MCP might share an acronym with TRON’s infamous AI overlord, but in our story, you are in control! Think of MCP as an open standard that gives your Copilot agent an arsenal of new tricks by letting it tap into external tools and services through a unified channel – under your strict supervision, of course. It’s like handing your AI sidekick the keys to the digital kingdom; file systems, databases, APIs… you name it.

* We’ll start by demystifying MCP.
* We’ll get a crash course in how MCP works and why it’s a game-changer for AI-driven development.,
* We’ll learn to use existing MCP servers (little to no coding needed to start).,
* We’ll then move on to coding a custom MCP server!,

By the end, you’ll know how to turn your AI assistant into a powerhouse agent for your projects, with loads of practical ideas to take home – world domination not included (we hope!).
