Sync Bugcrowd tools in VS Code Copilot

Commit your configuration to the repo so your whole team stays in sync. Everyone uses the same `list_programs` and `get_program` tools to track security status. This approach keeps your team on the same page. No one has to set up their own manual security dashboards.

Query submissions in VS Code Copilot

Pull vulnerability reports directly into your shared workspace. Use `list_submissions` to see the current load and `get_submission` to inspect specific findings. This visibility helps your team prioritize fixes. You see the facts, not just guesses.

Audit targets in VS Code Copilot

Check your scope by running `list_targets` through your chat window. It gives your team a clear list of what is currently exposed to the crowd. You can use `get_target` to drill down into specific assets. It saves time during your daily security standups.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "bugcrowd-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
