Install Job Boards Data (part 2) in VS Code
What you need first
- VS Code, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and VS Code connects to it.
Steps
- In your project, create
.vscode/mcp.json, or open it. For every project, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette instead. - Add this block. If the file already has
servers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"servers": {
"job-boards-2": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/jobs-ch-jobs,highbrow_fame/jobs-cz-jobs,highbrow_fame/karriere-at-jobs,highbrow_fame/stellenanzeigen-jobs,highbrow_fame/bestjobs-ro-jobs,highbrow_fame/profession-hu-jobs,highbrow_fame/pnet-jobs,highbrow_fame/elempleo-jobs,highbrow_fame/job-bank-canada-jobs,highbrow_fame/mojposao-jobs,highbrow_fame/arbeidsplassen-nav-jobs,highbrow_fame/careers-page-jobs-api"
}
}
} - Save the file and choose Start above the server's entry, or run MCP: List Servers. Its tools appear in Copilot Chat's agent mode.
Check it worked
Ask VS Code: List the tools of job-boards-2.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when VS Code asks.
- Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
