What it does

Connect Runtype to VS Code via GitHub Copilot and build AI agents, deploy to any surface, and generate integration code — all from your editor.

Authenticate

Sign in

Your tool opens a browser window to authenticate with Runtype via OAuth. No API key to copy — the MCP server handles auth for you.
