I am confused,
I don’t want to install unnecessary stuff on my trading PC.

Do you mean

GitHub Copilot Chat (Free for students and open-source devs)
Requires GitHub Education Pack or open-source contributor status

You do not need GitHub Copilot unless:

  • You specifically want to use Copilot Chat inside VS Code
  • You want AI-assisted code suggestions with MCP access

Pls clarify.

This is it. You’d need Copilot to use the MCP server with VSCode. Alternatively you can install the Claude client and use that to access the MCP server to connect your account.

this is not applicable to me as i want un restricted prompt access.

So essentially, that means I need this.

If I want this

Man this should have been in the info at the first place, not everyone here is a developer.

You don’t have to install GitHub Copilot separately. Rather, you would have to install the GitHub Copilot extension inside VS Code.

If you wish to use VS Code, then you’d need to use Copilot to get MCP access. If you don’t wish to use VS Code, you can install any other AI assistants like Claude and use that to get MCP access.

Is your VSCode connection to Kite MCP stable? In my case, it keeps getting terminated with error “Error reading SSE stream: TypeError: terminated”. Then I have to manually restart. Connection keeps dropping every minute.
