How to Use the Common Room MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I configure the Common Room MCP Server for my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the server settings. When your team pulls the repo, VS Code Copilot automatically loads the community tools for every developer.

Q: Can my team filter user segments with Common Room inside VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Your agent runs the listsegments tool to fetch your defined cohorts, allowing developers to filter member lists directly in the chat panel.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle GDPR deletions in Common Room?

Your developer asks the agent to run the deletemember tool with the specific user ID. VS Code Copilot executes the deletion directly, ensuring user data is removed from your records.

Q: How do we check our API key status in the editor?

The gettokenstatus tool queries your API credentials. Your agent runs this check to verify that your team-wide tokens are active and valid.

Equip your engineering team in VS Code Copilot to query community profiles and register webhooks directly from chat.

Perplexity

Share community context across your team

Your team gets instant access to directory data via the `list_members` tool, exposing your community directory to VS Code Copilot across your entire development team using this MCP Server. By committing the config to your repo, every engineer can ask their agent to fetch active user accounts. Your agent calls `get_member` to look up specific developer profiles. This lets your team draft precise support responses or debug user integration issues without leaving the code editor.

Automate activity logs inside VS Code Copilot

The `ingest_activity` tool lets your team write and test automation scripts that log platform interactions directly to user profiles. Your agent runs the ingestion calls within VS Code Copilot to verify the payload structure. Developers can verify their API credentials instantly using `get_token_status`. This check prevents broken integration pipelines before committing code to the main branch.

Manage production webhooks from the workspace

The `list_segments` tool lets your team query cohorts like highly active users inside the workspace. Your agent uses these lists to test notification routing logic before deploying updates. Handling active endpoints is straightforward using `create_webhook` and `delete_webhook` directly from your MCP Server chat panel. This lets you setup and teardown subscription endpoints during local testing without ever opening a browser.

Setup guide

Set up Common Room 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

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 Common Room tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Common Room transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json
