How to Use the Azure Blob Container MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we configure the Azure Blob Container for our team in VS Code Copilot?

You create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root. Add the server details and commit it so every developer on the team gets access to the container tools automatically.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot download files from our Azure Blob Container?

Yes. VS Code Copilot uses the getblob tool to fetch file contents directly into your active workspace, making it easy to review logs or data schemas.

Give your VS Code Copilot agent direct access to read and write Azure Blob Container files.

Perplexity

Share container tools across your engineering team

Commit your configuration to Git and let your entire team interact with your storage container. VS Code Copilot uses `get_blob` to let developers inspect cloud files directly from their shared workspace. Team members can quickly find files using `list_blobs`. This eliminates the need for everyone to have the Azure CLI installed locally or to share access keys over Slack.

Save build artifacts directly from the editor

Let your development team upload build logs, test results, or configuration files directly to Azure. VS Code Copilot uses `put_blob` to push these assets to your container instantly. This automates the manual step of uploading files after running local builds. Your team gets immediate feedback and a central repository for all development outputs.

Manage remote files using VS Code Copilot MCP Server

Keep your shared cloud environment clean by removing stale assets. The VS Code Copilot MCP Server includes the `delete_blob` tool to let developers prune temporary test files directly from the chat window. This ensures your team maintains a tidy development container. The agent will always prompt for confirmation before running any destructive file deletions.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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