How to Use the Campaigner MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How can my team use VS Code Copilot to see all our Campaigner workflows?

Once the Campaigner MCP server is configured in .vscode/mcp.json, anyone on the team can ask Copilot Chat, "list all workflows." Copilot will use the listworkflows tool and return the complete list.

Q: What's the main benefit of the shared .vscode/mcp.json file for an MCP Server?

Committing .vscode/mcp.json to your repository means every developer who pulls the code gets the exact same set of tools automatically. It standardizes the development environment and gets new team members up to speed instantly.

Equip your whole team with a Campaigner MCP Server directly in VS Code Copilot.

Shared Campaign Context for Your Team

This MCP server gives your entire engineering team a shared view of your Campaigner setup. Check in `.vscode/mcp.json`, and everyone instantly gets access to tools like `list_campaigns` and `list_segments`. Now, when a new developer joins, they don't need to ask for API keys or poke around the Campaigner UI. They can just ask Copilot, "what workflows are set up?" and get an immediate answer from `list_workflows`.

Pull Live Data into VS Code

Copilot can use this MCP server to pull live information directly into your editor. Need to check if a user is subscribed? Ask Copilot to `get_subscriber` with their email address. This is also useful for checking campaign health. You can ask Copilot to `get_campaign_stats` for a specific campaign, and it will drop the latest metrics right into your chat, saving you a trip to the browser.

Manage Lists and Subscribers

Perform quick administrative tasks on your Campaigner account without context switching. Tell Copilot to `create_subscriber` to add a new user to a publication during testing. You can also get a high-level overview of your contact lists. Use `list_publications` or `list_subscribers` to see what's there. It's a simple way for anyone on the team to get quick answers about your audience data.

Setup guide

Set up Campaigner 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.
