How to Use the Airbrake MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the Airbrake configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the MCP Server settings. When your team pulls the repository, VS Code Copilot will automatically detect the server and grant access to the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot automatically report errors to Airbrake?

Yes, the agent can use reportnotice to manually or programmatically log exceptions from your workspace. This is useful for testing your error-handling logic before deploying to staging.

Q: How do I check the status of my Airbrake projects in VS Code Copilot?

Ask Copilot to run listprojects in the chat window. The agent will return your active project list, allowing you to select the correct project context for your debugging session.

Debug Airbrake production errors and track deployments directly within VS Code Copilot alongside your team.

Investigate Airbrake bugs within VS Code Copilot

The `list_error_groups` tool allows VS Code Copilot to fetch active production bugs directly into your shared workspace. Your agent uses `get_error_group` to pull the precise stack trace and pinpoint the failing module without opening a browser. This integration helps your team diagnose regressions directly inside the editor where they write code. You can ask Copilot to explain the error using the context retrieved by `list_notices`.

Track team deployments and environment health

You call `track_deploy` to register new software releases to your monitoring dashboard directly from your editor. Before pushing a hotfix, your agent runs `list_deploys` to check which commits are currently live. This MCP tool integration makes it easier to verify if a recent release caused a surge in exceptions. The `list_environments` tool helps you confirm whether the issue is isolated to staging or is affecting production users.

Manage project configurations with this MCP Server

The `list_projects` tool lets VS Code Copilot pull your entire project directory from the monitoring API to set up your workspace. If you run into connection issues, `check_airbrake_status` verifies your API credentials instantly. This eliminates manual configuration step-by-step when setting up new microservices. Your agent uses `get_project` to retrieve the correct environment parameters and write them directly to your project configuration files.

Setup guide

Set up Airbrake 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 Airbrake 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.
