Enforce quality standards in VS Code Copilot

Copilot uses `get_repository_quality_analysis` to ensure everyone on your team is tracking the same Codacy repository metrics inside VS Code. This creates shared accountability. This eliminates the 'works on my machine' excuse for Codacy quality. Every developer can verify their impact on the codebase grade in VS Code Copilot before opening a pull request.

Resolve quality issues together

The agent calls `search_repository_issues` to pull the precise list of Codacy violations directly into your VS Code Copilot session. Resolving linting errors becomes a team effort. Because this MCP Server integrates directly with your VS Code workspace, Copilot can suggest and apply fixes for Codacy issues across the entire project. You do not need to leave the editor.

Audit repository access and webhooks

Copilot runs `list_organization_repositories` and `list_repository_webhooks` to audit your Codacy static analysis setup within VS Code. This simplifies project oversight. This makes it easy to verify that your Codacy webhooks are correctly sending quality alerts to your team from VS Code Copilot. Monitoring active notifications is simple.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codacy-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
