Pull workflow logs into VS Code Copilot

The `list_bot_runs` tool gives your agent instant access to chronological execution histories. A webhook fails in production, and you just ask the chat panel what happened. The editor reads the run data and points out the exact error. You stop context switching between your code and a browser dashboard. Copilot analyzes the failed automation payload alongside your local repository. The fix becomes obvious when you see both at the same time.

Expose bot logic to your entire team

Adding the Vinkius URL to your repository configuration shares this MCP Server with every developer. Calling `list_bots` and `get_bot` lets anyone on the team inspect how a specific automation is wired. Nobody has to ask for dashboard access just to check a trigger mapping. Shared understanding prevents broken integrations. The agent reads the exact field requirements from the live bot configuration. Every developer writes code that matches the actual workflow structure.

Track task usage and active connections

Engineering teams burn through automation tasks quickly during testing. The `get_usage` tool pulls the active account billing statistics directly into the chat. You see your remaining capacity before launching a massive test suite. Verifying authorized services is just as fast. Copilot runs `list_connections` to list every linked application. If a new integration is proposed, `list_apps` confirms whether the platform supports it.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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