Share Aspire data across VS Code

Engineering teams need consistent Aspire API access when building marketing tools. You add the Aspire MCP Server to your repository's .vscode/mcp.json file. Every developer gets instant access to campaign data without sharing API keys manually. Onboarding new engineers takes minutes instead of days. They open the project, and Copilot automatically knows how to call `list_projects` to fetch active marketing initiatives. The whole team works from the same live data source.

Read campaign specs via MCP Server

Building custom reporting requires accurate project structures. Your agent runs `get_project` to pull the exact deliverables and timelines for a specific campaign. You write the reporting logic based on actual Aspire data formats. Verifying connections happens instantly. Copilot triggers `get_account_check` to ensure the team token is valid before generating any API integration code. Dead credentials stop wasting your time.

Access creator profiles in Copilot

Developing talent management features means handling complex profile data. The AI client calls `get_member` to pull real influencer statistics right into your editor. You see the exact audience demographics while structuring your database schema. Grouping data for campaign views requires accurate relationships. Copilot uses `list_project_members` to map creators to specific initiatives. Accurate relational logic comes from knowing exactly how Aspire structures the connections.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about Aspire MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your Git repository. Anyone who pulls the repo gets the server configuration automatically.

No. The available tools only read information. Copilot can execute `list_campaigns` to show data, but it cannot create new records.

The shared token might be invalid. Have a developer ask Copilot to run `get_account_check` to test the authentication.

Yes. Team-wide MCP configuration requires VS Code version 1.96 or higher.

The server processes creator demographics, campaign timelines, and social engagement metrics. Vinkius routes these requests through ephemeral, zero-trust sandboxes so your influencer contracts and budgets never touch public LLMs.
