No global installation is required; uptodoc is automatically launched by the IDE after configuration. In VSCode, add the server configuration to .vscode/settings.json using npx -y @jlgformation/uptodoc start and set the UPTODOC_ENDPOINT environment variable. Then put GitHub Copilot in agent mode, start the MCP server in VSCode, and include “use uptodoc” in your prompts to activate it.
