Share AskHandle Context Across VS Code Copilot

Commit your MCP configuration to the repository and everyone gets the same setup. When a junior developer needs to debug a chat issue, Copilot runs `list_messages` to pull the exact thread into their editor. Nobody has to hunt down API keys or read outdated Swagger docs. The agent knows exactly how to query the backend because the tools are baked into your workspace.

Debug Customer Issues Faster

Support tickets usually require digging through logs. Now, you just paste a user ID into chat and tell Copilot to run `retrieve_lead` to get their account state. If the problem is stuck in a specific conversation, `retrieve_room` grabs the metadata. You fix the bug and push the code without ever opening a separate browser tab.

Prototype AskHandle MCP Server Integrations

Building new features around your support desk is incredibly fast. Ask Copilot to draft a new notification service, and it tests the logic by executing `create_webhook` against your staging environment. The agent verifies connectivity using `get_me` before writing a single line of code. You spend your time reviewing architecture instead of fighting with API authentication headers.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "askhandle-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
