How to Use the Amplience MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How can my whole team use the Amplience tools with VS Code Copilot?

You add the MCP server configuration to a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's repository. Once you commit and push that file, everyone on the team who pulls the repo will automatically have the Amplience tools available in Copilot.

Q: Can I use VS Code Copilot to publish content to my Amplience production environment?

You can. The server includes the publishcontentitem tool. You can instruct your agent to publish a specific content item version, and it will execute that command against your Amplience account.

Q: What's the main benefit of using this Amplience integration in VS Code Copilot versus other editors?

The biggest advantage is team-wide consistency. The .vscode/mcp.json file ensures every developer has the exact same tool configuration, which is critical for collaboration and reducing one-off setup issues. It's built for how engineering teams actually work.

Equip your entire team with Amplience tools directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Shareable configuration for your team

This MCP server connects Amplience to VS Code's Copilot. The key here is the `.vscode/mcp.json` file. You define the Amplience server connection once, commit it to your repository, and every developer on your team gets the same tools automatically. No more individual setups or passing around API keys. New team members clone the repo, and Copilot is instantly ready to interact with your Amplience content. It's a single source of truth for your team's AI tooling.

Enterprise-ready content management

Your agent can now perform critical content operations. Use `publish_content_item` to deploy changes to the CDN, or `delete_content_item` to safely remove content with built-in version validation. It’s all logged and auditable, just like any other API call. You can also use your agent to query the state of your content. Ask it to `list_hubs` or `list_repositories` to understand the current setup. This gives developers context on the production environment without ever leaving their editor, which is crucial for preventing mistakes.

Your Amplience MCP Server in VS Code

Once configured, Copilot in Agent mode can use tools like `get_content_item` to pull in real data. This is great for generating accurate types, interfaces, or even test fixtures based on your actual content schemas. The code Copilot writes is better because the data it's using is real. This managed MCP server runs on Vinkius, so your team doesn't have to worry about hosting or scaling. It's a SOC 2 compliant, enterprise-grade service. Just add the config file and let your team start working smarter with Amplience and Copilot.

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.
