Audit email infrastructure inside VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server connects your team's development environment to your live mail server. Your agent can run `check_account_exists` to verify if a specific test user is provisioned before you write the authentication logic. Managing multi-domain setups becomes a shared capability. Copilot pulls your current mapping via `list_domains`, letting any authorized developer see the active domains without asking operations for a status report.

Fetch raw email data for testing

Building email parsers requires real message structures. Your AI client grabs your exact inbox layout using `list_folders` and maps those directories into your test suite. Extracting the actual content follows immediately. Copilot executes `list_messages` on those paths to pull real email headers and body text, ensuring your parsing logic handles actual production formats.

Send automated messages from your editor

Team members can trigger real emails without leaving their IDE. When testing a new notification service, your agent uses `send_email` to push an outbound message through the AfterLogic Web API. This MCP Server standardizes the testing process across your entire repository. Since the tool configuration lives in your project's shared settings, your whole team triggers emails through the same verified endpoint.

Setup guide

Set up AfterLogic Aurora MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the AfterLogic Aurora tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent AfterLogic Aurora transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
