Standardize Agora diagnostics inside VS Code Copilot

Sharing API keys across a dev team is a security nightmare. By checking a shared `.vscode/mcp.json` into your repository, your whole team can access this MCP server to run `list_active_calls` without sharing raw credentials. When a developer needs to debug a channel, they ask Copilot to inspect the live session. The agent pulls active data, allowing the team to troubleshoot production issues from their respective editors.

Manage recording resources in shared workspaces

Avoid duplicate recording sessions during collaborative debugging. VS Code Copilot uses this MCP setup to run `query_cloud_recording` to see if a channel is already being archived before your team tries to spin up another instance. If a new recording is required, the agent handles the multi-step handshake. It executes `acquire_cloud_recording` to get the resource ID, then triggers `start_cloud_recording` and logs the output directly to your shared terminal.

Audit project environments from the terminal

Developers often lose track of which project credentials belong to staging versus production. VS Code Copilot solves this by calling `list_projects` to map out your active console environments. Once the correct target is identified, Copilot runs `get_project_details` to verify that your current workspace settings match the cloud configuration. This prevents accidental deployments to the wrong environment.

Setup guide

Set up Agora 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.
2

Add the Agora MCP

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.
3

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.
