Team-wide Event Testing with VS Code Copilot

The `put_events` tool integrates with VS Code Copilot to let your entire engineering team trigger cloud workflows directly from the editor. By committing the server configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer instantly gets access to the same staging bus. Copilot uses your active code context to format the event payloads correctly. This keeps your team aligned and ensures no one has to manually construct raw JSON events in external terminals.

Zero-Trust AWS Access for VS Code MCP Server

This MCP Server enforces zero-trust security by restricting Copilot's `put_events` tool to a single Amazon EventBridge Bus. Your developers can trigger events during debugging without risking accidental deployments to unauthorized cloud environments. The server ignores any requests to send events to other buses, safeguarding your AWS infrastructure. This configuration is managed at the workspace level, keeping access tightly controlled and auditable.

Rapid Prototyping of Event Payloads in Copilot

Writing event-driven code requires constant testing, which is why Copilot's integration with `put_events` is so valuable. You can highlight a block of code, ask Copilot to generate a corresponding event, and dispatch it to AWS in one step. The editor displays the AWS response directly in your chat sidebar. This immediate feedback helps you verify your event-driven routing rules without running complex local simulation suites.

Setup guide

Set up Amazon EventBridge Bus 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 Amazon EventBridge Bus 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.
4

Verify the connection

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

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about Amazon EventBridge Bus MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file at the root of your repository and commit it to git. Every developer using VS Code Copilot will automatically load the server and gain access to the `put_events` tool.

Yes, the server's access is determined by the AWS credentials loaded into the environment where VS Code Copilot runs. The `put_events` tool will only be able to write to the bus accessible by those credentials.

Open Copilot Chat, switch to Agent mode, and type a query. You will see the active tools list, which should display the `put_events` tool ready to receive your event payloads.

Yes, Copilot reads your local schema files to ensure the payloads sent via `put_events` match your exact AWS EventBridge specifications. It formats the source, detail-type, and detail fields automatically.

All custom event JSON payloads are transmitted securely through Vinkius's zero-trust, ephemeral V8 isolates. Your sensitive business event data is never stored, maintaining strict compliance with your enterprise security policies.
