How to Use the ByteNite MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the ByteNite MCP Server configuration in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it to Git. This automatically configures the server for every developer on your team using VS Code 1.96 or newer.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read our shared ByteNite templates?

Yes, the agent calls listtemplates to fetch your team's active encoding profiles. It then uses this metadata to help you write valid integration code.

Q: Does the ByteNite MCP integration in VS Code Copilot support multi-tenant setups?

The agent uses listapps to retrieve all project configurations under your account. This lets your team manage and switch between different application environments from the chat.

Q: How do we check if an encoding job has finished?

Ask your agent to run getencodingjob with the target job ID. Copilot will output the current progress and final storage destination directly in the chat panel.

Track encoding tasks in VS Code Copilot

The `list_encoding_jobs` tool displays your active video renders directly inside the team's shared workspace. Any developer can query the status of a transcode without leaving their coding environment or requesting dashboard access. Your agent uses `get_encoding_job` to inspect specific failures and report the exact error code to your team chat. This makes debugging distributed encoding issues a collaborative effort.

Validate video configurations in VS Code Copilot

The `list_templates` tool pulls your team's shared encoding profiles directly into your workspace. When writing code, your agent verifies that your video parameters match your organization's standards. To prevent deployment errors, your agent runs `get_template` to double-check bitrate and codec settings against your local code. This ensures that every developer on the project uses the identical configuration.

Check ByteNite MCP Server health

The `get_system_info` tool gives your development team real-time visibility into active nodes and processing capacity. Your agent checks these metrics before you commit to a major transcode batch. By analyzing this data alongside `get_account_info`, your team stays informed of active usage and credit consumption. You can plan heavy workloads during off-peak times based on actual system availability.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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