GitHub Copilot in VS Code + nittim: set up in two minutes

Connect nittim to GitHub Copilot in VS Code, then ask for a scan. The scan is free and needs no key.

Steps

1. In your project, create .vscode/mcp.json. For every project instead, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette.
2. Add the nittim entry from the snippet below inside the servers object. VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers.
3. Save the file. VS Code shows a Start button above the entry. Select it and trust the server when asked.
4. Open Copilot Chat in agent mode. Configure Tools in the chat box lists the nittim tools.

Install

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json.

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

If your assistant shows a sign-in prompt for the free tools, add the header x-nittim-auth with the value none to the server entry.

First thing to say

Scan this repo with nittim and tell me what it finds.

Questions

Do I need a key for the free scan?

No. The free scan, the module list and the price estimate work without a key. A key is only for paid audits, and you can mint one when you want one.

What does it cost?

The scan is free. A paid audit shows its price first and charges nothing until the account owner confirms it on a link. See the pricing page for the numbers.

What does nittim see?

Only what your assistant sends in a call: the files for a scan, or the repository you name for an audit. Nothing else on your machine is reachable from nittim.
