How to Use the Azure Service Bus Queue MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I configure the Azure Service Bus Queue tools for my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a file named .vscode/mcp.json in your project's root directory. Add the server configuration there and commit the file to Git. Every team member using VS Code and Copilot in that repo will instantly get the tools in Agent mode.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot automatically process an entire Azure Service Bus Queue with this?

Not by itself. The tools require you to pullmessage and then acknowledgemessage for each item. You would need to instruct your agent to perform these steps in a loop, which keeps you in control of the process.

Q: What's the difference between user and project config for the Azure Service Bus Queue server in VS Code Copilot?

A project config (.vscode/mcp.json) lives in your repository and is shared with your whole team. A user config, set via the Command Palette, is only for your machine. Use the project config for shared team tools.

Equip your entire engineering team with secure Azure Queue access inside VS Code Copilot.

Team-Wide Queue Access

This server's tools, `pull_message` and `acknowledge_message`, let your agent interact with a specific Azure Service Bus Queue. It's a direct connection between Copilot and your infrastructure. The real power comes from VS Code's team-based configuration. Add this MCP server to your repo's `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Now, every developer on the team automatically gets the same tools in Copilot Chat. No more individual setup or version conflicts.

Build Safer Copilot Agents

The `pull_message` tool fetches a single message and locks it, making it invisible to other consumers. `acknowledge_message` is a separate, required step to delete it. This two-step process is a deliberate safety feature. It makes building agentic workflows much safer. You can instruct Copilot to pull a message, show it to you for review, and only call the `acknowledge_message` tool after you give the command. This prevents an agent from accidentally clearing a production queue while you're not looking.

Enterprise-Ready MCP Server

This MCP server does one job: it interacts with a single Azure queue. It has no other permissions and is built for security and focus, which makes it easy for your security team to approve. Combine this with VS Code's enterprise features and Copilot's SOC 2 compliance, and you have a tool you can roll out to your entire organization. Your IT department can manage the configuration, ensuring everyone has controlled, auditable access to the right data.

Setup guide

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

No. This is an independent MCP server available on the Vinkius Marketplace. It uses standard Azure APIs to work, but it is not an official Microsoft product.

The server only processes the content of your queue messages, plus the `messageId` and `lockToken` required for the acknowledge step. Vinkius runs each MCP server in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox. Your data is only held in memory for the duration of a request and is never logged or written to disk.
