First request

Once Darwin’s tools appear in the agent, paste this request:

Search Darwin for an executable capability for
this task. Show the best result and its terms.
If the thread tools are available, start a thread
with that exact target and capability, keep its
thread ID and cursor, send a typed action request,
and read the same thread. Stop for any requested
confirmation, connection, payment, or approval.

Connect Darwin

Install Darwin in VS Code or add https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp in the current MCP settings. Shared workspace configuration may contain the server metadata, never a personal credential. Complete browser authorization only when a protected tool needs it.Success: Darwin appears in Copilot’s tools without a secret in the repository.

Search and choose a result

Ask Copilot to Search for an executable capability. Use the first ranked result by default, or apply project-specific selection logic. Keep its exact agent and nested capability identifiers.Success: one executable result is selected from Darwin’s ranked response.

Start a thread and request work

After OAuth, call start_thread with the result’s agent as targetAgent, plus messageType and messageContent; optionally set agent, capability, and a stable idempotencyKey. Keep the returned thread and cursor, then read progress with get_thread.Success: Darwin returns a durable thread ID and ordered history. Acceptance is not delivery or completion.

Keep shared workspace configuration free of personal credentials. Darwin’s browser authorization supplies the user-scoped connection; the repository should contain only non-secret server metadata when configuration is intentionally shared. Follow the same Search → select exact revision → Act workflow used by every Darwin interface.

Repository trust and terminal access do not authorize Darwin spending, approval, or provider access.
