Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Betterfly MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Betterfly to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share Betterfly MCP Server Access Across Teams
The `get_company_metrics` tool becomes available to your whole engineering department instantly. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer gets access. Copilot uses this shared configuration to query live HR data. This MCP Server provides consistent tooling without extra setup. This setup eliminates individual API key distribution. A developer working on the intranet dashboard can ask their AI client to run `get_impact_stats` to measure ESG and social metrics. The whole team builds against the same live data source.
Develop Internal Wellness Dashboards
The `list_activities` tool pulls real corporate health tracking data into your editor. Building visualizations goes much faster when you have exact numbers for global corporate steps and synced individual activities. Copilot writes the charting code based on the live response. You can expand these dashboards to include active corporate events. Using `list_challenges` shows what is currently running, and `create_challenge` lets you test initialization payloads. Your agent handles the backend complexity while you write the frontend.
Prototype HR Admin Portals
The `list_users` tool enforces strict adherence to the API schema when you write administrative interfaces. Ask your editor to list corporate members, followed by `get_user` to fetch specific wellness details. The generated code perfectly matches the Betterfly data structure. Testing destructive or restrictive actions is also possible. Calling `pause_user` temporarily restricts a user account, while `assign_reward` allocates a manual recognition bonus. This MCP integration lets you verify admin logic without leaving VS Code.
