Team-wide S3 management in VS Code Copilot

The Amazon S3 Bucket MCP Server enables team-wide file management inside your VS Code Copilot workspace. Using .vscode/mcp.json, your team can run `list_objects` and `get_object_metadata` directly from the VS Code Copilot chat panel. This shared S3 setup ensures every developer on your team queries the same S3 bucket paths using VS Code Copilot. It eliminates the 'works on my machine' problem when debugging S3 integrations across your engineering team.

Inspect bucket policies during code reviews

This Amazon S3 Bucket MCP Server reads security configurations to help you review access rules. Your team can ask VS Code Copilot to run `get_bucket_policy` to verify S3 permissions during a collaborative code review. By executing `get_bucket_acl` within VS Code Copilot, developers can quickly audit S3 file exposure before committing code. Catching open permissions or misconfigured ACLs before pushing to production is much easier with this tool.

Move files to S3 via your Copilot agent

The Amazon S3 Bucket MCP Server handles file transfers directly from your VS Code Copilot workspace. Your team can ask VS Code Copilot to call `put_object` to upload local workspace files to your shared S3 bucket. When cleaning up temporary test assets, VS Code Copilot runs `delete_object` to remove those files from your S3 bucket. This keeps your development bucket organized and prevents storage costs from piling up.

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.
