How to Use the Capacities MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read specific Capacities objects?

The agent reads exact nodes using the getobject tool. It pulls the full explicit object by ID and displays the properties directly in your editor chat.

Q: Why is the agent failing to attach files?

The savemedia tool requires an explicit media payload and a specific record scope. Make sure the agent has identified the target object ID before attempting the upload.

Link Capacities to VS Code Copilot to share knowledge graphs and daily notes across your entire engineering team.

Read Shared Knowledge in VS Code Copilot

The `list_spaces` and `get_space_info` tools expose your organization's exact knowledge architecture to the editor. Copilot retrieves detailed information about all object types and configuration rules before generating any responses. Your agent understands the exact structure of your team's documentation. Once it knows the layout, the client triggers `get_structures` to expose exact metadata parameters. Every developer on the team gets the same context because the MCP Server configuration lives in your shared repository. You stop answering repetitive questions in chat.

Search Graph Items via MCP Server

Finding specific project requirements happens through the `lookup` and `get_object` tools. Copilot searches your specific space by title or explicit keywords, then retrieves the full explicit object by ID. The exact graph data appears directly in the chat panel. This keeps your engineers focused on the codebase instead of hunting through browser tabs. The agent traverses properties internally to find the exact node you need. It brings the documentation straight to the file you are currently editing.

Automate Changelogs and Tags

Writing documentation updates is handled by the `create_object` and `save_to_daily_note` tools. Copilot appends strict Markdown textual payloads to your dynamically mapped daily note after a pull request. The agent instantiates entities based on your specific graph rules. To keep things organized, the client uses `add_tag` to add structural categorical links. It binds related graph items together automatically. If you have reference files, `save_media` attaches the explicit payload directly onto the existing record scopes.

Setup guide

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.
