Team-wide link operations with this MCP Server

The Capsulink MCP Server lets your development team share a single link configuration by committing the setup to `.vscode/mcp.json`. Every developer can run `list_links` and `get_link_details` directly from their Copilot chat panel. New team members don't need to configure separate API clients. They get immediate access to your link database, making collaborative link management much faster.

Automate link maintenance inside VS Code Copilot

The Capsulink automation tools enable your coding agent to clean up stale resources using `delete_link` during routine workspace maintenance. You can also re-route active campaigns by executing `edit_link_destination` via chat. Copilot monitors your workspace files for hardcoded URLs. It suggests converting them to shortened trackable links on the fly, keeping your repository clean.

Analyze link performance in your terminal workspace

The Capsulink performance tracker pulls live marketing data into your editor using `get_link_stats` and `get_link_daily_stats`. This helps you verify campaign performance before deploying updates. Copilot parses the daily click trends and suggests optimization strategies based on real usage patterns. You never have to switch to an external browser tab to check your metrics.

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.
