Monitor video infrastructure inside VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server uses `list_videos` and `get_storage_usage` to give your entire dev team visibility into your video hosting account. Developers can query storage capacity directly from the chat panel without asking for admin dashboard access. Because the configuration is saved in your repository, every engineer on the team can inspect video statuses. This keeps your frontend and backend teams aligned on which assets are ready for production.

Spin up live streaming inputs via VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server uses `create_live_input` to let developers provision live ingest points directly from their workspace. Your team can generate RTMP endpoints for testing without leaving the editor or running custom curl commands. When testing is complete, the agent runs `delete_live_input` to clean up the workspace. This keeps your staging environment clear of abandoned stream configurations.

Manage localization files in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server uses `upload_caption` and `copy_audio_track` to coordinate multi-language video assets. Engineers can upload VTT caption files directly from their workspace directory into Cloudflare. The agent also runs `list_captions` to verify which languages are active for a specific video ID. This ensures your localization pipelines are working correctly before you push code to production.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
