How to Use the Amazon DynamoDB Table MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does VS Code Copilot read specific items from my Amazon DynamoDB Table?

The agent invokes the getitem tool with the partition key you provide. It retrieves the raw JSON object and displays it directly in your chat interface.

Q: Is it safe to run scans on my Amazon DynamoDB Table using VS Code Copilot?

The scantable tool is fully supported, but you should use it mindfully on large datasets. For targeted lookups, ask the agent to use querytable instead.

Equip VS Code Copilot with tools to read, write, and manage your Amazon DynamoDB Table directly from your shared workspace.

Team-Wide Database Access in VS Code Copilot

The Amazon DynamoDB Table MCP Server enables your entire engineering team to interact with your NoSQL database using shared workspace configurations. Team members use `get_item` and `query_table` to inspect records without configuring individual database clients. By committing the configuration to your repository, everyone gets instant access to the same tools. This standardizes how your team interacts with development databases.

Modify Live Records Instantly

This toolset exposes `put_item` and `delete_item` directly to your development environment. You can quickly add test records or remove corrupted entries during debugging sessions. The agent handles the database calls, saving you from writing custom shell scripts or opening the AWS console. Your database operations become part of your natural coding flow.

Inspect Tables without Leaving the Editor

The `scan_table` tool allows your agent to retrieve all items from your configured database table. This is ideal for quickly verifying that your migrations or batch processes ran correctly. The retrieved records are formatted directly in your chat panel. You can easily compare the actual database state against your local code expectations.

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.
