Enterprise, Education, and Team administrators can publish the QPR ProcessAnalyzer connector across the workspace so all users can access it without individual setup.

			== VSCode GitHub Copilot ==

			GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code supports connecting to remote MCP servers via the '''Streamable HTTP''' transport. MCP is an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and services, and in VS Code, MCP servers provide tools for tasks like file operations, databases, or external APIs.

			Note: Agent mode is required. MCP tools are invisible in Ask or Edit mode. Open Copilot Chat, click the mode dropdown, and select "Agent."

			=== Configuration File Locations ===

			You can manually configure MCP servers by editing the <code>mcp.json</code> file. There are two locations for this file: '''Workspace''' — create or open <code>.vscode/mcp.json</code> in your project (include this file in source control to share MCP server configurations with your team); '''User profile''' — run the <code>MCP: Open User Configuration</code> command to open the <code>mcp.json</code> file in your user profile folder.


			=== Method 1: OAuth Authentication (Recommended) ===

			VS Code GitHub Copilot supports OAuth authentication for remote MCP servers. If you are using a remote server with OAuth authentication, in the <code>mcp.json</code> file, click '''Auth''' from the CodeLens above the server to authenticate to the server. A pop-up or new window will appear, allowing you to authenticate with your account.

			'''Step 1: Add the MCP server configuration'''

			Create or edit <code>.vscode/mcp.json</code> in your workspace (or use the user-level configuration):

			<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
			{
			"servers": {
			"qprpa-server": {
			"type": "http",
			"url": "https://your-pa-server.com/qprpa/api/mcp"
			}
			}
			}
			</syntaxhighlight>

			When using OAuth, VS Code will automatically discover the server's OAuth metadata (via <code>/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource</code> or <code>/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server</code>) and initiate the browser-based authentication flow.

			'''Step 2: Start the server and authenticate'''

			# A "Start" button will appear in your <code>.vscode/mcp.json</code> file, at the top of the list of servers. Click the "Start" button to start the MCP servers. This will trigger the input dialog and discover the server tools, which are then stored for later sessions.
			# Click the '''Auth''' CodeLens link above the server entry in <code>mcp.json</code> to initiate the OAuth flow.
			# Sign in to QPR ProcessAnalyzer in the browser window and grant the requested permissions.
			# VS Code securely stores the OAuth tokens for subsequent sessions.

			'''Step 3: Use in Copilot Chat'''

			# Open Copilot Chat by clicking the icon in the title bar of Visual Studio Code. In the Copilot Chat box, select '''Agent''' from the popup menu.
			# To view your list of available MCP servers, click the tools icon in the top left corner of the chat box. This will open the MCP server list, where you can see all the MCP servers and associated tools that are currently available in your Visual Studio Code instance.
			# Ask Copilot to use QPR ProcessAnalyzer tools, e.g., ''"Analyze the purchase-to-pay process for Q1 using QPR ProcessAnalyzer."''

			=== Method 2: API Key Authentication ===

			For API key authentication, use the <code>${input:}</code> variable syntax to securely prompt for the key at server startup, rather than hardcoding it in the configuration file.

			<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
			{
			"servers": {
			"qpr-processanalyzer": {
			"type": "http",
			"url": "https://your-pa-server.com/qprpa/api/mcpp",
			"headers": {
			"X-Mcp-Api-Key": "<your API key>"
			}
			}
			}
			}
			</syntaxhighlight>

			=== Verification ===

			# Open the <code>.vscode/mcp.json</code> file and check that the server shows a green status indicator (or "Running" label) via CodeLens.
			# Open Copilot Chat in '''Agent''' mode.
			# Click the '''tools icon''' (Configure tools) to confirm QPR ProcessAnalyzer tools are listed.
			# Run a test prompt such as: ''"List available process mining models from QPR ProcessAnalyzer."''
			# If Copilot asks you to confirm that you want to proceed, click '''Continue'''.
