Add Phersa to GitHub Copilot

Find viral videos, make your own with your AI persona and run comment-to-DM, without leaving GitHub Copilot. GitHub Copilot's agent mode in VS Code connects to Phersa as an HTTP MCP server. Add it to mcp.json, then click Auth.

In VS Code, add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "phersa": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.phersa.com/mcp" } } }

What is different about Phersa in GitHub Copilot

MCP in Copilot needs VS Code 1.99 or later and works in agent mode.
On Copilot Business and Enterprise, an admin must turn on the "MCP servers in Copilot" policy, which is off by default.

The Copilot CLI adds it with copilot mcp add --transport http phersa https://mcp.phersa.com/mcp and signs in with OAuth in the browser.

Can GitHub Copilot make AI influencer videos?

Yes, with Phersa connected. GitHub Copilot finds viral videos, plans the clips with your AI persona, shows you the price, and generates on your own API keys only after you agree. It edits and exports the video; you post it yourself, and it can set up comment-to-DM on that post.

Does GitHub Copilot support remote MCP servers?

Yes. In VS Code agent mode, Copilot connects to HTTP MCP servers from mcp.json and signs in with OAuth through the Auth link above the server in mcp.json.

Which Copilot plan do I need?

Every plan, including Free. On Business and Enterprise, an admin must enable the "MCP servers in Copilot" policy first.
