Connecting PF Create to GitHub Copilot

Difficulty: Easy — add a JSON config file.
Requires: VS Code 1.99+, GitHub Copilot extension, Copilot Free/Pro/Pro+ or Business/Enterprise with MCP policy enabled

Before You Start

• Your pfk_… Portal Access Key — log in at user.pfcreate.ca, select Security from the menu, click Rotate Portal Access Key, and copy the key immediately. It will not be shown again.

Project-Level Config (recommended)

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "pfcreate": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.pfcreate.ca/sse",
      "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer pfk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"}
    }
  }
}

Activate

1. A Start button appears at the top of .vscode/mcp.json — click it.
2. Open Copilot Chat, select Agent mode.
3. Click the tools icon to confirm PF Create tools are listed.

Troubleshooting

Start button not visible — Confirm VS Code is 1.99+ and GitHub Copilot extension is installed.

401 errors — Check the full pfk_ prefix is present.
