Trooth in VS Code & GitHub Copilot

Last updated: Oct 17, 2026View as Markdown

Look up any company's public record from GitHub Copilot chat in VS Code.

Opens VS Code. Nothing happens if it is not installed: download VS Code first.

Install Trooth

Open the install link

Select Install in VS Code above. Your browser asks to open VS Code; allow it.

Install and trust it

VS Code shows the trooth server. Install it, and confirm that you trust it when VS Code asks the first time it starts. There is no key.

Ask in chat

Open the Chat view and ask it to use Trooth. VS Code may ask you to confirm each tool call.

Add it by hand

Or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, or add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. A .mcp.json at the workspace root uses mcpServers in place of servers.

.vscode/mcp.json

{  "servers": {    "trooth": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://api.trooth.co/public/mcp"    }  }}

Try it in VS Code

Use Trooth to look up the company behind each API this repository calls and list what each publishes about data retention.
