How to Use the Aporia MCP in VS Code Copilot
Standardize LLM safety across your engineering team with the Aporia MCP Server in VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Aporia MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Aporia to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide guardrail validation
`validate_guardrails` executes toxicity and PII checks on message arrays directly inside your editor. VS Code Copilot runs these checks for every developer on the team automatically. Catching unsafe prompts happens before they ever reach a pull request. The entire engineering organization builds against the exact same safety boundaries.
Shared model telemetry via MCP
`get_metrics` retrieves the exact drift and performance numbers for your production models. Reading this telemetry helps your AI client write fallback logic based on shared reality. Nobody has to hunt down the right dashboard link in Slack. Pulling the data into the chat window keeps the team actively writing code.
Audit configurations without leaving the IDE
`list_monitors` and `list_dashboards` expose the active safety nets configured in your workspace. Checking what rules apply to a specific model lists them instantly. Suspecting a monitoring gap means `trigger_monitor` forces an immediate check. Validating the infrastructure works perfectly without logging into a separate web portal.
