Use TypeUI with GitHub Copilot

Connect GitHub Copilot to TypeUI so Agent Mode can use design systems, UI prompts, and layout variations.

Open GitHub Copilot

Open your project in Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot enabled.

Add TypeUI to GitHub Copilot

Click the button below to install TypeUI for GitHub Copilot in VS Code:

Install for GitHub Copilot

If the button does not open VS Code, run this command from your terminal:

Run in terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"typeui","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp"}'

You can also add TypeUI directly to your workspace by creating .vscode/mcp.json:

Plain text
{
  "servers": {
    "typeui": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Sign in with TypeUI if GitHub Copilot asks you to authorize the connection.

Choose a theme

Browse the Design Skills page to compare available themes.

After you choose a theme, ask GitHub Copilot to use it:

I like the Bento style. Let's use it.

Start building UI

Use TypeUI to help me build a landing page.

Tell GitHub Copilot what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.

Review and refine

Run your app and review the changes. Ask GitHub Copilot for targeted improvements:

I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.

TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.

After you choose a direction, tell GitHub Copilot which one to use:

I like the comparison one. Let's use it.

Once GitHub Copilot is connected to TypeUI, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a theme, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Copilot which direction to continue with.
