How to Use the BulkSMS MCP in VS Code Copilot
Deploy SMS tools across your team using VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect BulkSMS MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect BulkSMS to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Shared BulkSMS tools for VS Code Copilot
Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file to the repo so your whole team uses the same `send_sms` configuration. It keeps everyone aligned on messaging standards. This setup ensures consistent access to the BulkSMS gateway. No one has to configure their own local tools.
Sync contact groups in VS Code Copilot
Use `list_groups` to pull your team's contact lists into the editor. Everyone sees the same group structure when they ask the agent for updates. It makes managing large lists a team effort. You can verify member lists before triggering any mass communications.
Monitor messaging credits in VS Code Copilot
Run `get_profile` to check if your team's credit balance is sufficient for a deployment. The agent provides the status in the chat panel. This prevents failed sends during production releases. You stay informed about your account health without leaving the editor.
