Perplexity

Team-wide Calendar Reads

The `list_calendars` tool retrieves explicit cloud logging tracing explicit payload IDs limitlessly. Your team gets immediate visibility into calendar structures without leaving their IDE or checking external dashboards. Identifying precise active arrays spanning native gateway auth bounds takes seconds with `get_user_info`. Copilot pulls this data directly into your chat panel so you can debug authentication issues on the fly.

Build Scheduling Flows with this MCP Server

Checking exact active overlaps requires the `get_free_busy` tool. The Cronofy MCP Server enumerates explicitly attached structured rules, giving your AI client the context it needs to build reliable booking features. When you need to review existing records, `read_events` pulls unified aggregated Google, iCloud, and Exchange overlays limitlessly. You stop guessing what the API returns because Copilot shows you the actual JSON payload inline.

Debug Auth and Sub-Providers

Inspecting deep internal arrays mitigating specific sub provider lists is handled by `get_account`. You ask your agent to verify the account state, and it returns the exact configuration currently running. Running an automated validation check routing explicit cross-provider checks uses `query_availability`. VS Code Copilot executes this inside the editor, letting you test complex scheduling scenarios without writing throwaway curl scripts.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
