VS Code + Enigma

Beta

Enigma's remote MCP server is currently in beta.

Give VS Code Copilot the power of Enigma's business intelligence. Through MCP, GitHub Copilot gains comprehensive business knowledge for building data-driven applications with real market insights.

Prerequisites

Installation

In your workspace, create .vscode/mcp.json:

{
"servers": {
"enigma": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "-p", "@enigma-com/enigma-mcp-remote@latest",
"enigma-mcp-remote",
"https://mcp.enigma.com/http-key",
"--header", "x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}

You can find your API key on the Enigma Console homepage.

Verify Your Setup

  1. Restart VS Code to load the MCP configuration
  2. Open GitHub Copilot Chat
  3. Look for Enigma tools in the available capabilities

Test the connection: Try this example in Copilot Chat:

"Research Tacombi's business model and competitive landscape"

You should see your Copilot intelligently using Enigma's business intelligence to provide comprehensive analysis.

What Your Copilot Can Do

With Enigma's business intelligence, your GitHub Copilot can:

  • Research any company while you build business applications

Your AI coding assistant becomes a business research expert, seamlessly integrating market data into your development process.
