Introducing GitHub Copilot MCP for Cocobox
Connect your MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases to GitHub Copilot via the Model Context Protocol. Copilot can now read your schema and run read-only queries without leaving VS Code.
Today we’re shipping one of the most-requested features of the beta: GitHub Copilot integration via MCP.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for plugging tools and data sources into large language models. Anthropic created it in 2024; GitHub Copilot adopted it in 2025. An MCP server exposes a set of actions an LLM can call — for databases, that means things like “list tables”, “describe schema”, or “run this read-only query”.
What Cocobox MCP does
Cocobox now exposes your connected databases as an MCP server. In VS Code, Copilot can:
- See your schema — tables, columns, types, indexes, foreign keys.
- Answer questions like “what tables relate to
orders?” using your real DB. - Run read-only queries (with your explicit permission).
Writes are off by default. Every query hits your audit log. Tokens are revocable per connection.
Set up in 60 seconds
- In Cocobox, create an MCP token (scoped to the connections you want Copilot to see).
- In VS Code Copilot settings, add the Cocobox MCP server URL.
- Paste the token. Done.
What’s next
We’re working on:
- Bidirectional history so Copilot can reference past queries.
- Write-mode flows with inline diff review.
- Multi-agent workflows (Claude Code, Cursor) — all via the same MCP server.
