Connecting Odds runs one MCP server for every client. VS Code + GitHub Copilot calls the same search_jobs and get_job tools, backed by the same ranked search engine the website uses — there is no client-specific search behaviour.

Remote MCP (Streamable HTTP). The endpoint is:

OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. VS Code + GitHub Copilot redirects you to Connecting Odds, you approve the connection, and the client stores a scoped access token. You never paste a key, password or database credential.

Use the MCP: Add Server command in VS Code, choose an HTTP server, paste the Connecting Odds MCP URL and complete the sign-in prompt. Then enable the tools in Copilot agent mode.

Client interfaces change often, so follow VS Code + GitHub Copilot’s current MCP or custom connector setup flow and paste the URL above when it asks for a server address.
