<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Local Server">
    ### 1. Install Auggie CLI

    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install -g @augmentcode/auggie@latest
    ```

    ### 2. Sign in to Augment

    ```bash theme={null}
    auggie login
    ```

    This will open a browser window for authentication.

    ### 3. Configure the MCP server in GitHub Copilot

    * Please create the following file **at the root** of your project: **.vscode/mcp.json**
    * Paste this content inside and **Save**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "servers": {
        "augmentcode": {
          "type": "stdio",
          "command": "auggie",
          "args": ["--mcp", "--mcp-auto-workspace"]
        }
      },
      "inputs": []
    }
    ```

    ### 4. Test the integration

    Prompt this in **AGENT MODE**: "What is this project? Please use codebase retrieval tool to get the answer."

    Copilot should confirm it has access to the `codebase-retrieval` tool.
