Deploy Cloud BOT tools in VS Code Copilot

Share your `.vscode/mcp.json` file across the team to ensure everyone has access to the same automation tasks. It makes `execute_bot` a standard part of your team's toolkit. Everyone gets the same output format. It stops the 'it works on my machine' syndrome for your automation scripts.

Monitor team automation in VS Code Copilot

Check the status of shared tasks using `list_jobs` and `get_job_status`. It gives the whole team visibility into what's currently running in the cloud. You can stop runaway processes immediately with `cancel_job`. It keeps your shared resources running efficiently.

Use `list_cloudbot_files` to see what data is available to your team. It keeps your workspace organized and ensures everyone uses the correct files.

Setup guide

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