# Trooth in VS Code & GitHub Copilot

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

[Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22trooth%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fapi.trooth.co%2Fpublic%2Fmcp%22%7D)

Opens VS Code. Nothing happens if it is not installed: [download VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) 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

```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.
```

## What you can do

[Find a companyTurn a domain, web address, name or Trooth slug into the company's record, with why it matched.](https://trooth.co/docs/agents#every-tool)[Read its recordEvery section of a company's public record, each fact labeled with who said it and when.](https://trooth.co/docs/trust-profile-api)[Get one answerOne fact from one record, with its source label, its date and the address it is anchored at.](https://trooth.co/docs/agents#every-tool)[See what changedHow a company's record changed, version by version, oldest first.](https://trooth.co/docs/agents#every-tool)

## Other ways to connect

- From a terminal, with no setup: [the trooth CLI](https://trooth.co/docs/cli).
- From your own code, with one request and no key: [the API](https://trooth.co/docs/trust-profile-api).
- From any other AI tool that takes a remote Model Context Protocol server: [the MCP endpoint and every tool on it](https://trooth.co/docs/agents).

## Troubleshooting

- The server did not start: run MCP: List Servers, select trooth and choose Show Output.
- To pick which Trooth tools chat may use, select Configure Tools in the chat input.
- To stop using it, right-click trooth under MCP SERVERS - INSTALLED in the Extensions view and choose Disable.
