How to Use the Arbox MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we enable the Arbox tools for our whole team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's root. Add the Arbox MCP server configuration provided by Vinkius, then commit the file to your Git repo. Every developer who pulls the repo will have the tools enabled.

Q: Can I use VS Code Copilot to check Arbox member engagement scores?

Yes. The searchmembers tool returns a member's profile, attendance, and their engagement score. You can ask Copilot's agent to 'find members with an engagement score below 50' to get a list.

Give your whole engineering team access to Arbox data inside VS Code. Ship studio management features faster with Copilot.

Give Your Team Shared Arbox Tools

Add the Arbox MCP Server config to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Now, every developer on your team automatically gets the same set of tools in their VS Code Copilot instance. No individual setup required. Your whole team can now use Copilot to query live Arbox data. A developer can ask the agent to `search_members` to test a new feature, or use `get_member` to debug a problem with a specific user's account, all using a shared, version-controlled configuration.

Use Real Data in Your Dev Workflow

Let Copilot's agent pull real-time operational data for any task. It can use `list_schedule` to get class times or `list_coaches` to see staff availability. This is perfect for building new scheduling features or internal dashboards. Instead of waiting for a backend engineer to build a new endpoint, a frontend developer can just ask Copilot: "Get me the class schedule for next week." The agent uses the `list_schedule` tool and provides the data, letting them build the UI immediately.

Connect to Your Arbox MCP Server

This server gives Copilot read-only access to your studio's business data. The agent can call tools like `list_leads` to check the sales pipeline or `list_payments` to see recent transactions, right from the editor. This speeds up development for internal tools. When building a new admin panel, you can ask Copilot to populate a table with data from `list_products`. The agent gets the data and can even help write the code to display it.

Setup guide

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