@sabbour/kickstart-mcp

MCP server for AKS Kickstart — exposes Kickstart's conversation tools and A2UI responses over the Model Context Protocol so GitHub Copilot Chat, VS Code agents, and any MCP-capable client can drive the Kickstart harness.

Quick start — VS Code

Click to install in one step:

• VS Code — Install Kickstart MCP
• VS Code Insiders — Install Kickstart MCP

Or add manually to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "kickstart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sabbour/kickstart-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and start chatting. Kickstart tools will appear in the Tools panel (⚙).

CLI usage

npx @sabbour/kickstart-mcp

The server speaks MCP over stdio. Each tool call drives one Kickstart harness turn — session management, skill injection, and guardrails all flow through the harness runtime automatically.

Configuration

Set environment variables before starting the server:

| Variable | Required | Description | |---|---|---| | AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT | ✅ | Azure OpenAI endpoint URL | | AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY | ✅ | Azure OpenAI API key | | AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING | ✅ | Azure Storage for session persistence |
