A Shared Tool for Your Entire Team

The `encode_binary` tool becomes part of your team's standard toolkit. Add this MCP server to the `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Now, every developer on the project gets the same encoding capability in their editor. No more drift in how people handle data for API calls. Everyone's Copilot agent uses the exact same `encode_binary` tool, which means you get consistency in the code being generated across the board.

Standardize API and Data Interactions

Ensure every part of your application that needs to encode data does it the same way. This is crucial for things like creating consistent JWTs, formatting file uploads, or interacting with legacy systems that require specific payload formats. By giving your agent a dedicated tool, you remove ambiguity. It won't use a random library or an incorrect method; it will use the approved MCP tool your team has configured.

Your VS Code MCP Server for Encoding

Keep your hands on the keyboard. When you're in a chat session with Copilot, you can ask it to encode or decode text on the fly. The result pops up in the chat, ready to be inserted into your code. This simple utility saves you from breaking your flow to look up a command or open another application. It's a small, sharp tool that makes working with encoded data in VS Code just a little bit faster.

Setup guide

Set up Base64 & Binary Encoder 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 Base64 & Binary Encoder 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 Base64 & Binary Encoder tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Base64 & Binary Encoder transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "base64-binary-encoder-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

Common questions about Base64 & Binary Encoder MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server configuration to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory. Once you commit and push that file, everyone who pulls the repo will have the tool available to their Copilot agent.

It's great for generating boilerplate code for API clients. You can ask Copilot to draft a function that sends data, and specify that a certain field must be Base64 encoded. The agent will use the tool to generate a correct example.

Yes, it handles Base64, Base64URL, and Hex. Just tell the Copilot agent which one you need when you ask it to perform a conversion.

You'll need VS Code version 1.96 or newer for full MCP server support with GitHub Copilot. The setup is managed through the `mcp.json` configuration file.

Vinkius handles all authentication. Your developers use a single endpoint token, and access is managed through Vinkius's SOC 2 compliant platform. The server only processes the string payloads you send for conversion and does not store them.
