Manage CodeRabbit Seats with VS Code Copilot

The `assign_seats` tool allows your team to assign seats to up to 500 users at once via this MCP server. You can commit this setup to your repository configuration so every developer has access. Use `unassign_seats` to reclaim licenses when developers roll off the project. This keeps your subscription costs under control without manual intervention.

Monitor Team PR Metrics Locally

The `get_metrics` tool retrieves pull request review metrics for specified date ranges. VS Code Copilot helps you parse these metrics to optimize your team's code review cycles. This setup lets you run velocity reports directly from your terminal or chat panel. You don't need to log into external dashboards to see review speeds.

Control Roles and Fetch Audit Logs

The `get_audit_logs` tool pulls compliance data straight into your editor window. It simplifies security reviews by letting you check admin actions without leaving your workspace. You can also run `promote_users` or `demote_users` to manage team permissions. It ensures your organization maintains tight access control policies.

Setup guide

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