Debug production incidents inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_errors` tool pulls active production failures directly into your VS Code Copilot chat panel. Your engineering team can review the latest crash trends without switching to a web browser. Once you select an issue, the agent calls `get_error` to fetch the complete diagnostic report. Copilot then suggests the exact code modifications needed to resolve the incident.

Share this MCP Server across your entire team

The `list_projects` tool maps your current workspace to your team's BugSnag dashboard. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to these tools. When someone runs `list_collaborators`, Copilot identifies who originally wrote the buggy code. This helps your team assign the right developer to the fix immediately.

Analyze release stability inside your editor

The `get_project_stats` tool provides real-time stability metrics for your active builds. Copilot reads these statistics to warn you if your branch introduces known regressions. Combined with `list_events`, the agent inspects individual failures within specific environments. You get a clear picture of how your code behaves across different release stages.

Setup guide

Set up BugSnag 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.

Verify the connection

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