Automate transcriptions for the whole team

Commit your server config to the repo so everyone uses `transcribe_audio` the same way. It ensures your team stays synced on audio tasks. No more manual setup instructions. Everyone gets access to the same tools as soon as they pull the latest code.

Fetch structured audio data in VS Code

Use `get_transcript_sentences` to feed meeting notes into your team's tracking tools. VS Code Copilot reads these inputs to draft tasks or tickets. It turns spoken feedback into actionable items. You get clear, parsed text without any manual formatting.

Manage transcription records via VS Code

Run `list_transcripts` to audit what jobs are currently stored for your project. If a task is done, use `delete_transcript` to remove it. This keeps your project environment clean. Everyone on the team sees the same updated state.

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.
