How to Use the Chaport MCP in VS Code Copilot
Give your engineering team access to live Chaport chat data right inside VS Code Copilot via MCP.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Chaport MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Chaport to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Shared team access to Chaport
Stop passing Chaport API keys around Slack. You can configure this live chat MCP Server once in your repository and distribute it to every developer automatically. By committing .vscode/mcp.json, the whole squad can run `get_my_agent_profile` or `list_chaport_operators`. Everyone gets the exact same live data context without individual setup.
Debug customer issues in VS Code Copilot
Support tickets often lack technical context. Developers can now pull the exact chat history where the user reported the bug. Just ask the chat panel to run `get_visitor_last_chat` for a specific user ID. The agent will follow up with `get_chat_history` so you see the exact error messages the customer pasted.
Interact with live visitors
You don't have to leave your IDE to ask a user a clarifying question. This MCP connection lets you code, debug, and communicate from one window. Run `get_visitor_details` to check their browser version. Once you spot the issue, have the agent execute `send_agent_message` to tell them a fix is deployed.
