How to Use the Codecov MCP in VS Code Copilot
Manage engineering metrics and coverage reports inside VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Codecov MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Codecov to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Retrieve coverage totals in VS Code Copilot
Ask the agent to execute `get_commit_coverage_totals` for any specific SHA. You get the aggregate numbers to verify build health immediately. This is useful for confirming if your recent changes passed the threshold. You stay inside the editor throughout the whole process.
List coverage flags in VS Code Copilot
Run `list_coverage_flags` to see how your team organizes test reports. It shows the labels applied to your coverage data. This makes it easy to filter results by test type. You can see if your unit tests or integration tests are the ones lacking coverage.
Verify repository commits in VS Code Copilot
Use `list_repository_commits` to pull a history of recent builds. It shows you the coverage status for each commit in your repo. It helps your team identify when coverage started to drop. You can trace issues back to a specific pull request.
