VS Code + GitHub Copilot

Use VS Code and GitHub Copilot with NeoStack AI through MCP.

VS Code connects GitHub Copilot to NeoStack AI through the NeoStack bridge, a small stdio MCP binary. Requires NeoStack AI plugin 3.1.8 or newer.

Step 1: download the bridge

On macOS/Linux, run chmod +x on it once.

Step 2: configure

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your Unreal project folder:

{
  "servers": {
    "unreal": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/path/to/neostack-bridge-macos-arm64"
    }
  }
}

Use the path to the binary you downloaded.

There are no ports, tokens, or URLs to configure. The bridge finds the running editor and follows restarts.

Verify

1. Start Unreal Editor with NeoStack AI enabled.
2. Open the project workspace in VS Code.
3. Reload VS Code if Copilot does not pick up the server immediately.

Notes

• If several editors are open, ask the agent to “list unreal projects” and “select” one, or set the NEOSTACK_PROJECT_DIR env var in the server config.
• This uses VS Code/Copilot’s MCP support, not NeoStack AI’s in-editor chat UI.
