healthcare.dev docs
MCP server

VS Code

Use healthcare.dev tools in GitHub Copilot agent mode.

Add .vscode/mcp.json (note servers, not mcpServers). VS Code prompts for the key once and stores it securely:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "hdev-key",
      "description": "healthcare.dev API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "healthcare-dev": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.healthcare.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:hdev-key}" }
    }
  }
}

Open Copilot Chat in agent mode and pick the healthcare-dev tools from the tools menu.
