Perplexity

Search Vaults Directly from VS Code Copilot

Engineers waste time hunting down local admin passwords across hundreds of physical containers. Connecting this MCP Server means your team can just ask the chat panel to run `list_accounts` with a search string to find exactly what they need. The agent pulls back the bounding platform, safe allocation, and rotational status instantly. Nobody has to break focus, log into a separate web portal, or bother the security team for basic credential locations.

Standardize Account Provisioning

Rolling out new infrastructure requires disciplined credential creation. When a developer needs to register a new service account, the AI calls `add_account` using the exact Platform ID required by your IT department. The MCP Server handles the exact API payload required. Decommissioning is just as structured. Running `delete_account` ensures the CPM stops trying to rotate passwords on dead servers, keeping your vault clean and your audit logs free of unnecessary failure alerts.

Monitor and Terminate Sessions

Security engineers building SOC dashboards can test their logic against live session data. Triggering `list_users` pulls down the active human end-users and auditors currently consuming PSM sessions. If a test requires simulating an active threat response, the agent fires `terminate_session`. This lets your team build and verify incident response tools using real API behaviors instead of mocked endpoints.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cyberark-privilege-cloud-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about CyberArk Privilege Cloud MCP in VS Code Copilot

Drop your Vinkius server URL into a .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your repository. Every developer who pulls the repo instantly gets access to the same vault tools in their chat panel.

Yes, provided the user supplies the mandatory justification reason. The checkout hits the SIEM alert system exactly as it would through the standard web interface.

It handles logical access mapping perfectly. The agent pulls your safes and user groups, allowing engineers to verify RBAC architectures without leaving their editor.

You need version 1.96 or higher. Older builds lack the necessary protocol support for the MCP Server to execute external API calls.

Retrieved clear-text passwords and platform IDs process through a sandboxed V8 Isolate that wipes itself clean after execution. The zero-trust architecture guarantees your tier-0 credentials never touch persistent storage on our infrastructure.
