One Config for the Whole Team

This tool connects GitHub Copilot to your team's ClickSend account. The real power comes from the shared configuration. Add the server details to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Now, every developer on the team automatically gets the same set of ClickSend tools in their editor. No individual setup, no passing around API keys. When someone new joins the project, they just pull the repo and Copilot is ready to interact with ClickSend.

Manage ClickSend from VS Code Copilot

Let Copilot handle routine ClickSend tasks. You can ask it to send an SMS notification using `send_clicksend_sms` or check on a campaign's status with `list_sms_marketing_campaigns`. It's a reliable way to interact with the API without writing one-off scripts. This is especially useful for ops and SRE tasks. Need to verify that your production alert system is working? Just ask Copilot to send a test message to your on-call number. You get confirmation right in your editor.

Pull Account History for Debugging

When you're debugging a messaging issue as a team, you need quick access to history. This MCP Server lets any developer with access ask Copilot to pull logs directly from ClickSend. Use `get_sms_outbound_history` or `get_voice_call_history` to see what the system has sent. It's faster than logging into a separate dashboard. You can also check your account credit with `get_clicksend_account_info` before a big deployment. Copilot brings that operational data right into the developer's workflow, where it's most needed.

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.
