Organizations can restrict which MCP servers are allowed to be used by developers in VS Code. The following configuration options are available:

* Configure from which source MCP servers can be added (controls the `setting(chat.mcp.access)` VS Code setting)

This is not about adding MCP servers. Irrespective of what value this setting is set, users can add MCP servers from any source. This setting controls which MCP servers are enabled in VS Code.


## Configure MCP server access

By default, VS Code allows developers to [add any MCP server](/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers.md) to their environment and retrieves the list of MCP servers in the Extensions view from the GitHub MCP registry.

GitHub MCP registry is still behind preview flag therefore most of the users do not see it unless they opt in. So might confuse users if the registry is mentioned as they might have not seen it.
