Push podcast metadata directly from VS Code Copilot

`create_episode` lets your team publish draft show notes and audio files without leaving their IDE. VS Code Copilot parses your markdown files and formats them for your Buzzsprout feed instantly over MCP. This eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting during release cycles. Your development team can stage and push episodes directly from their active repository branches.

Audit your feed using this VS Code Copilot MCP Server

`list_episodes` retrieves your active feed history directly into your VS Code Copilot chat window. Your team can quickly cross-reference published IDs against your local git commit history. When an error is spotted, `update_episode` applies the fix to your live show notes. Copilot executes the patch directly from your terminal or chat panel.

Inspect account details in your editor

`get_podcast_info` retrieves your primary feed settings and directory configurations into VS Code Copilot. Developers can verify connection strings and feed URLs without logging into the web dashboard. Running `get_account_info` ensures your current workspace settings align with your active subscription. You get immediate feedback on your account limits before pushing large media files.

Setup guide

Set up Buzzsprout 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 Buzzsprout 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.

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