Shared mock rules in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repo so every dev uses the same mock server. Your team can call `create_rule` to enforce consistent API behavior across local environments. Need to change a mock? Use `update_rule_partial` to push a fix to everyone on the team.

Team debugging with VS Code

Use `list_requests` to see how your team's code hits the proxy. You can use `get_request` to share specific failures with colleagues in the chat. When a sprint ends, `delete_all_rules` clears the board. It keeps your workspace clean for the next task.

Manage TLS and state in VS Code

Keep your connections secure by using `add_certificate` to configure mTLS for the whole team. Everything is tracked through `list_certificates`. Sync your test data with `upsert_state`. It ensures your application is testing against the correct mock data every single time.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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