Share BrandMentions Context in VS Code Copilot

The `list_projects` tool retrieves all active tracking campaigns directly into your shared VS Code environment. By checking this list, your team can align on exactly which keywords are currently being monitored without jumping between different browser tabs. This MCP Server integration allows developers to collaborate on analytics tools using identical data context. Commit the configuration to your repo, and your whole team can query the same brand data during development.

Fetch Live Social Mentions in Chat

The `get_project_mentions` tool pulls live social listening data straight into your Copilot Chat sidebar via MCP. This allows your team to analyze raw data structures and write highly accurate parsers without leaving the code editor. If you need to test fresh queries, use `post_search` to trigger a new scan and pull results with `get_mentions`. It makes building internal marketing dashboards a breeze since the live API response is always accessible.

Extract Influencer Metrics and Monitor Limits

The `get_influencers` tool lists high-authority accounts for any active project directly inside your editor. Your team can quickly build recommendation engines or outreach tools using real influencer profiles instead of static mock files. Avoid breaking production pipelines by checking `get_remaining_credits` within your workspace. It lets your team monitor API consumption during heavy integration testing.

Setup guide

Set up BrandMentions 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 BrandMentions 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the BrandMentions tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent BrandMentions transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
