VS Code

VS Code (GitHub Copilot in agent mode) reads MCP servers from your user mcp.json.

The easy way: open MCP for Tally, go to Connect AI apps and click Add beside VS Code. The app writes the settings below for you, keeps a backup of the file, and never touches your other entries.

By hand

1. Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Open User Configuration.
2. Add the entry below inside servers.
3. In Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode and open the tools list to check mcpfortally is there.

{
  "servers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\runtime\\node.exe",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\app\\mcpfortally.js", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "servers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/Applications/MCP for Tally.app/Contents/MacOS/mcpfortally",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
