Hi!
I am starting to explore the new managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with GitHub Copilot. I have successfully configured it to use the DBSQL MCP Server that you currently find in AI/ML -> Agents -> MCP Servers. As also shown in this post if you add the follow config to mcp.json.
```json
{
"servers": {
"databricks-sql": {
"url": "https://<workspace_host>/api/2.0/mcp/sql",
"type": "http",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <PAT>"
}
}
},
"inputs": []
}```
However, as also stated in the official documentation, you are supposed to use OAuth in an OAuth app. The wizard for the OAuth app prompts for a Redirect URL, but it currently doesn't give any instructions on what this would be for Visual Studio Code or GitHub Copilot. Has anyone managed to figured this out? The only clue we get is
* Web-based clients: https://<domain>/oauth/callback or https://<domain>/api/mcp/auth_callback
* Local development tools: http://localhost:<port>/oauth/callback
What am I expected to put in my mcp.json?
