Share this Beekeeper MCP Server across your engineering team

The `get_tenant_info` tool lets your entire engineering team access workspace details through a shared VS Code MCP configuration. By committing an MCP config to your repository, every developer gets instant access to the same environment. This eliminates the hassle of configuring individual API keys. Your team can run queries, inspect tenants, and build features using a unified, secure connection managed by Vinkius.

Search users and groups inside Copilot Chat

The `list_users` and `list_groups` tools allow your developers to inspect the company directory during team discussions. Instead of guessing group names or user structures, Copilot pulls active records directly into your chat. You can also use `search_users` or `get_user` to pinpoint specific accounts. This is highly useful when debugging user sync scripts or verifying user-facing features.

Read and write stream posts from your editor

The `list_posts` and `create_post` tools give your team a quick way to test stream integrations without leaving VS Code. You can draft a post, publish it to a test channel, and verify the output immediately. For direct communication tests, the agent can use `send_message` and `list_messages`. This keeps your development loop fast and contained entirely within your IDE.

Setup guide

Set up Beekeeper 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.
