Share Craftnet licenses in VS Code

Stop passing license keys around in Slack. Commit your MCP Server configuration to your repository so every developer on your team can query entitlements. Copilot Chat runs `list_cms_licenses` to verify domain limits before anyone pushes changes to staging. The same applies to third-party packages. When a junior developer tries to install a commercial add-on, Copilot checks `list_plugin_licenses`. The agent confirms your agency actually owns the software before the developer breaks the build.

Track store revenue via MCP Server

Plugin developers can monitor their business without leaving the editor. Ask Copilot to execute `list_sales_history` to pull the latest transaction records into your terminal. You can write custom reporting scripts while looking at the exact JSON schema of your real sales. Month-end accounting gets much faster. The agent calls `list_payout_history` to fetch your actual bank disbursements. Copilot formats the raw API data into a CSV structure that you can copy straight into your financial software.

Sync agency accounts

Onboarding new engineers means auditing who has access to your Craftnet portal. Copilot triggers `list_craftnet_users` to dump your active roster into a text file. You can instantly spot former contractors who still have active developer permissions. You also need to know your exact organization tier. The agent runs `get_account_details` to verify your agency status. This prevents developers from wasting time trying to use features that your current subscription does not cover.

Setup guide

Set up Craft CMS (Craftnet) MCP in VS Code Copilot

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

Switch to Agent mode

Common questions about Craft CMS (Craftnet) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the Vinkius endpoint to a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository. Once committed, every developer gets instant access to the API tools without manual setup.

Yes. The agent queries the live marketplace to find specific packages and read compatibility requirements. It drops the exact composer require commands into your terminal.

You need VS Code version 1.96 or higher. You also must switch your chat interface into Agent mode to allow tool execution.

Ask the chat interface to pull your account metadata. It hits the API and returns your exact organization status and current limits.

Your sales transactions and payout history route through an ephemeral V8 sandbox. Vinkius operates on a zero-trust model, meaning the container spins up to process the API request and immediately terminates. Your revenue data never hits a database.
