GenAIScript MCP Demo 🚀

- Demonstrates GenAIScript as a fully functional MCP server.
- Exposes local tool versions via MCP tools.
- Works with VSCode (March 2025 Insiders or later).
- Supports remote execution without cloning the repository.
- Integrates with GitHub Copilot chat for AI assistance.

Install the VSCode extension. You need at least Node.js v20. Refer to https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/getting-started/installation/ additional instructions.

If you install the March 2025 version of VSCode Insiders, you should be able to run the GenAIScript MCP server locally, to get the tool versions installed on your local machine.

mcp.json is where you would configure the MCP servers. Below is the sample configuration on Windows. You don't even need to clone this repo with this approach, as GenAIScript can clone the repo in the background for you to just use the tools. If you are using the --remote flag, you don't need to install the GenAIScript extension at all.

``jsonc
{
"servers": {
"genaiscript-mcp-remote": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "cmd",//Have run like this in Windows. Otherwise ENOENT for npx, atleast in my machine.
"args": [
"/c",
"npx",
"-y",
"genaiscript",
"mcp",
"--remote",
"https://github.com/rajyraman/genai-mcp/",
"--remote-branch",
"main",
"--groups",
"mcp"
],
"env": {
"DEBUG": "*"
}
// "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env"
}
}
}
``
You can start the MCP Server by clicking the Start link. If it is already running, you would see a Running indicator.





Below is how you can use it in the GitHub Copilot chat.
