Testing it in vscode
Requirements
- VSCode Version =>1.99.0
Instructions
- Open the environment in the devcontainer (vscode command palette >
Dev Containers: Reopen in Container) - Run
task mix-server:run - Open the command palette and select
MCP: List Servers - Choose
mix_server - Start it
- Set Copilot to
Agent modeby choosing "Agent" in the dropdown option next to the prompt textbox. - Ask Github copilot something like "Summarize the CSV file named sample.csv." or "How many rows are in sample.parquet?" Copilot will detect the appropriate tool, call the MCP server, and respond with the results—powered by the Python code.
