Share vulnerability data in VS Code Copilot

Sharing vulnerability data across your engineering team stops arguments over which CVEs actually affect production. You commit the mcp.json file to your repository, giving every developer instant access to this MCP Server. Copilot runs `list_vulnerabilities` to show a developer exactly which hosts are missing patches for the code they are currently modifying. Nobody has to request access to the security console. The agent pulls the severity and remediation status straight into the IDE. Your team fixes critical flaws before the security team even has to ask.

Investigate alerts from the editor

Mapping active incidents to recent deployments keeps platform engineers inside their editor. Copilot uses `list_incidents` to pull active security events filtered by state and date range. The developer sees exactly what broke without switching to a browser tab. Digging deeper takes just one more prompt. The AI executes `list_detections` to grab the MITRE ATT&CK mappings and specific techniques used by the attacker. They can even use `update_detection` to drop a triage comment explaining that a specific alert was just a load-testing tool.

Respond to compromised dev machines

Investigating a weirdly behaving local dev machine demands immediate answers. Copilot fires `search_hosts` to pull the full device inventory details for that specific workstation. You confirm the machine's identity and status instantly. If things look bad, the AI can cut the connection. Executing `contain_device` isolates the endpoint from the rest of the corporate network. This MCP Server turns your standard code editor into a distributed incident response terminal.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crowdstrike-falcon-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Common questions about CrowdStrike Falcon MCP in VS Code Copilot

You create an mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Vinkius server details. Once you commit that file to Git, every developer pulling the repo gets the security tools automatically.

Your developers can query active indicators using the list command. If they spot a malicious domain during a code review, they can ask the agent to run the creation tool to block it globally.

The agent natively understands Falcon Query Language. It applies FQL filters to narrow down incidents by severity or assignee, keeping the chat context focused on relevant alerts.

They prompt the agent with the target hostname. The AI triggers the containment tool to lock down the device, assuming the shared endpoint token has the necessary permissions.

Vinkius isolates your incident logs, custom IOC hashes, and MITRE technique mappings within a secure, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure. The execution sandbox processes the API request and immediately destroys itself. Your telemetry never rests on our servers.
