Sync user directories inside VS Code Copilot

The CometChat MCP Server lets your team manage chat profiles without leaving the editor. Your agent executes `create_user` or `list_users` to verify test accounts during development. If you need to test authentication flows, your agent calls `deactivate_user` to simulate disabled accounts. You verify these edge cases directly from the Copilot interface.

Audit channel configurations via MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes group settings directly to your shared development workspace. Your agent calls `get_group_details` and `list_groups` to inspect live channel metadata. Your entire engineering team can access these tools using a shared configuration file. This keeps your testing environments consistent across the workspace.

Send live debug messages from your code window

Test message delivery without opening an external chat client. Your agent uses `send_message` to push test payloads to specific channels. You can also use `list_messages` to verify that your application is writing payloads correctly. This speeds up your debugging loop during integration sprints.

Setup guide

Set up CometChat 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
