Use Nika with VS Code and Copilot - Nika

One command, or one click — binary first (brew install supernovae-st/tap/nika · other paths):

nika wire vscode

What it writes

.vscode/mcp.json in the current repo (--dir picks another workspace) — VS Code’s own MCP file, servers key, stdio type. Idempotent; unrelated servers survive. The same block by hand:

{ "servers": { "nika": { "type": "stdio", "command": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } }

The rest of the VS Code surface

The marketplace extension — LSP, DAG canvas, preflight.
nika init writes .github/copilot-instructions.md and the .vscode/settings.json schema mapping (validation + completion in any YAML-aware editor).

Verify

Open Copilot’s agent-mode tools list — the nine nika_* tools appear (the oracle’s contract). Then prove the loop end-to-end: integrate in 10 minutes.
