How to Use the Chuanyun MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Chuanyun MCP Server configuration across our engineering team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Chuanyun server details. When team members open the project in VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot, they automatically get access to the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot update existing records in Chuanyun?

Yes. VS Code Copilot uses updatebizobject to modify existing records. You can ask the agent to update specific fields, and it will construct and send the payload automatically.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot identify users when assigning tasks in Chuanyun?

The agent calls listusers to retrieve the current directory of application users. It then maps your instructions to the correct user ID to ensure accurate assignments.

Team-wide Chuanyun schema integration in VS Code Copilot

The `get_form_schema` tool allows your development team to query Chuanyun database structures directly from VS Code Copilot. By committing the MCP configuration to your repository, every developer instantly shares access to the same live Chuanyun schemas in VS Code. The VS Code Copilot agent uses `list_forms` to verify active Chuanyun layouts across the team. This ensures everyone writes code against the same production Chuanyun definitions, eliminating local configuration drift in VS Code.

Audit Chuanyun approval histories from your code editor

The `get_workflow_history` tool pulls live Chuanyun approval cycles directly into the VS Code Copilot chat window. Developers can inspect transition logs to debug Chuanyun workflow triggers without logging into the Chuanyun web portal. When writing event-driven webhooks in VS Code, the Copilot agent calls `list_workflows` to verify Chuanyun state names. This keeps your deployment pipelines in VS Code aligned with actual Chuanyun operational states.

Manage records safely using this Chuanyun MCP Server

The `create_biz_object` tool lets VS Code Copilot generate and insert test records directly into your Chuanyun development environment. The Copilot agent builds the payload based on the Chuanyun schema and executes the creation securely. If a test record is no longer needed, the VS Code Copilot agent calls `delete_biz_object` to clean up the workspace. This keeps your Chuanyun sandbox clean during active development cycles in VS Code.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
