Set up the OVHcloud MCP server in VS Code.

Preview: the OVHcloud MCP server is to be confirmed

Nothing answers at `https://mcp.eu.ovhcloud.com/mcp` yet. Its URL and its tools are this page's proposal, the way the guides below will read once it does.

## Prerequisites

- Visual Studio Code installed
- The GitHub Copilot Chat extension
- Node.js 22+ installed
- An OVHcloud API token (see [Authentication](https://developers.eu.ovhcloud.com/authentication.md))

## Configuration

1. Run MCP: Configure Servers from the Command Palette, to open mcp.json.
2. Add the OVHcloud server, and replace YOUR_OVHCLOUD_TOKEN with your token:
  ```json
  {
  "servers": {
    "ovhcloud": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://mcp.eu.ovhcloud.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${OVH_AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OVH_AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_OVHCLOUD_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
  ```

## Verification

1. Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode.
2. Select the Tools button, and enable ovhcloud.
3. Ask Copilot:
  ```text
  Which OVHcloud API operation reboots a dedicated server?
  ```
