Connect 2Chat MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect 2Chat to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide WhatsApp testing in VS Code Copilot
Share your messaging setup across your entire engineering team. By committing this MCP Server config to your repo, every developer gets instant access to `list_numbers` inside their editor. Copilot Chat uses these active sender profiles to draft and test notification scripts. Your team avoids configuration drift and keeps testing environments aligned.
Automate group ops from your VS Code terminal
Manage your staging and production chat groups without leaving the workspace. The agent runs `list_groups` to map active threads directly to your project's environment variables. If you need to spin up a new internal channel, `create_group` handles it in seconds. Copilot configures the participants and writes the setup confirmation directly into your logs.
Verify recipient lists inside the Copilot chat
Avoid sending messages to dead numbers during manual testing. This tool integration lets your agent run `check_number` to sanitize recipient lists before triggering test runs. The agent combines this check with `send_message` to dispatch verified text and media. You get clean test runs without triggering WhatsApp spam filters.
