How to Use the APImage MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we deploy the APImage MCP Server for our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the server settings. Once committed to Git, every developer on your team using VS Code Copilot will have access to the image tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot enhance my prompts using APImage?

Yes. Your agent can call the enhanceprompt tool to expand your basic descriptions into detailed prompts before generating your project assets.

Q: How can I check which image models are supported?

Your agent runs the listmodels tool to fetch the full list of available generation engines directly within your chat panel.

Team-wide image generation in VS Code Copilot

Share your asset generation pipeline across your entire engineering team. By adding this MCP Server to your shared `.vscode/mcp.json` config, every developer gets instant access to `generate_image`. No more hunting down API keys or setting up individual accounts. Your agent uses `check_apimage_status` to ensure everyone has a working connection from day one.

Process assets inside your development workspace

Keep your team focused on writing code instead of jumping between design apps. Your agent can run `image_to_image` to modify assets or `inpaint_image` to patch specific parts of a graphic. When you need clean icons, the agent uses `remove_background` to strip backdrops. It saves the polished files directly to your workspace, ready to commit to Git.

Manage generation histories and models

Keep your codebase lightweight by upscaling assets only when needed. Your agent runs `upscale_image` via the MCP Server to prepare assets for production, keeping your source repo clean of bloated files. Developers can run `list_generations` to see what has already been built or use `get_generation` to pull down specific assets. Use `list_models` to see which generation engines are currently supported.

Setup guide

Set up APImage 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 APImage 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 APImage tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent APImage transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
