Team-wide bot control via VS Code Copilot

Share your support tool configurations across your entire engineering team using `list_bots`. By committing the MCP configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to bot lists and `get_bot` through Copilot Chat. This standardizes how your team manages support bots. No more sharing API keys or logging into external web portals to check bot settings.

Audit conversation logs and leads in your editor

Troubleshoot customer support issues without switching apps by pulling raw customer chats with `list_conversations`. Your agent displays active support threads and retrieves individual logs using `get_conversation` directly in your VS Code sidebar. You can also track marketing performance. Run `list_leads` to see how many contacts your bot has captured, letting your team audit lead gen pipelines right alongside your codebase.

Update knowledge bases during code deploys

Keep your support bots aligned with your software releases by running `add_knowledge_url` to index new documentation pages. This MCP Server lets you sync public-facing documentation the moment your team publishes updates. You can also keep tabs on what your bots are currently trained on. Run `list_knowledge_base` to see active training sources and prune outdated URLs using `update_bot`.

Setup guide

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