…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Airbyte MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Airbyte 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.
Share pipeline context across your team in VS Code
Commit your MCP config to Git so everyone on the team can inspect data flows. Developers use Copilot to query `list_connections` and see which pipelines are currently active. This setup keeps everyone aligned on database changes. Running `get_connection` lets developers verify sync schedules before pushing database migrations.
Inspect data sources via VS Code Copilot
No more asking data engineers for connector details. Your team can run `list_sources` and `list_destinations` directly from the Copilot chat panel using this MCP Server. Copilot uses `get_source` to pull schema definitions and database types. It helps developers write accurate data fetching logic without leaving their workspace.
Monitor sync jobs with this VS Code Copilot MCP Server
Keep track of data freshness during development. The agent runs `list_jobs` to show you when the last sync finished and whether it completed successfully. By querying `list_workspaces`, the agent ensures you are looking at the correct environment. It reduces the risk of debugging the wrong pipeline.
