Publish messages directly from VS Code Copilot

The `publish_message` tool allows VS Code Copilot to dispatch raw event payloads directly to your Azure Service Bus Topic. You can ask Copilot to generate a test payload based on your source code and send it immediately. This removes the friction of switching to external tools to trigger message-driven workflows. Your entire development and testing loop remains within your active editor.

Define custom routing metadata in chat

The `publish_message` tool accepts a `customProperties` JSON object to configure message metadata. VS Code Copilot analyzes your workspace to determine the correct routing keys and attaches them to the outgoing message. This ensures your messages bypass dead-letter queues and hit the exact subscriptions you are currently developing. You get precise control over your cloud routing directly from the chat panel.

Share messaging tools with your engineering team

This MCP server integrates with your workspace configuration file to distribute the `publish_message` tool across your team. Every developer working in the repository gains the ability to trigger topic messages instantly. This standardizes your team's integration testing process. Nobody has to manually configure proprietary testing clients or write custom scripts to send test events.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about Azure Service Bus Topic MCP in VS Code Copilot

You define the server in your workspace configuration file. Once committed to your repository, VS Code Copilot will load the `publish_message` tool for every team member.

Yes. Copilot reads your workspace files to understand your routing logic, then formats the custom properties JSON object when calling the `publish_message` tool.

You need VS Code version 1.96 or higher with Copilot Chat enabled. This setup allows the editor to recognize and execute the `publish_message` tool.

The server is built to target a single configured topic. To target multiple topics, you need to run separate instances of the server with distinct environment variables.

No. Your message payloads and custom properties are transmitted directly via secure V8 isolates running this MCP server. The transit path is fully encrypted, meaning your proprietary corporate data never persists on Vinkius servers.
