Share Marketing Configurations with this MCP Server

Keep your entire engineering team aligned on marketing integrations. By committing this MCP configuration to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot can run `list_campaigns` to see what promotions are currently active. Team members can also call `list_webhooks` to verify where your production events are being routed. This eliminates communication gaps between your engineering team and the marketing department.

Validate Customer Attributes Without Leaving VS Code

Writing database migrations or API integrations is faster when you know your schema. Let your agent run `list_attributes` and `list_segmentations` to verify exactly how customer profiles are structured in your database. Copilot uses `get_customer_properties` to pull sample data, letting you test your parsing logic against real user payloads. This prevents minor formatting bugs from breaking your production personalization engine.

Inspect Catalog Schemas for Faster Frontend Development

Building dynamic UI components requires knowing your product properties. Use this MCP server to run `list_properties` and `list_catalogs` to see the exact structure of your inventory databases. Your agent can run `get_catalog_items` to retrieve real product data. This gives VS Code Copilot the live context it needs to generate accurate mock components and write solid integration tests.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Bloomreach MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project root and commit it to your Git repository. Every developer on your team with VS Code 1.96+ will instantly get access to the tools.

No, this server only provides read access. Your agent can run `list_segments` to view your customer groups, but it lacks the permissions to create, edit, or delete them.

Make sure your global or workspace configuration file is properly formatted and that you have updated to VS Code 1.96 or newer. You can verify the active tools in the Copilot Chat panel.

No, it does not. The server connects directly to the cloud API via Vinkius, allowing Copilot to fetch data like `list_event_types` without requiring any local database mirrors.

Your customer segments and catalog items are fetched via a secure, zero-trust V8 sandbox managed by Vinkius. The MCP server pipes data directly into your VS Code Copilot session and is never stored on external servers.
