Team-wide compliance mapping inside VS Code Copilot

Run `list_datasets` and `list_processings` to check data classifications across your entire engineering department. Commit this configuration to your repository to share compliance mapping with the team. It removes the friction of developers having to log into separate compliance portals. They get the metadata they need to write compliant code right where they work.

Handle privacy requests during development

Execute `create_dsr` to mock user requests and check how your application processes them without manual database entries. Fetch details using `get_dsr` to inspect the format. Clean up your workspace afterwards by running `update_dsr` or `archive_dsr`. This keeps your testing pipeline clean and prevents fake requests from skewing your compliance metrics.

Audit workspace tags and actors from the editor

Query `list_tags` to verify you are using the correct labels for personal data fields across multiple microservices. Run `list_workspaces` to make sure you are coding against the right business unit. If an endpoint leaks data, your agent can query `list_actors` to find who owns the affected system. It bridges the gap between your git blame logs and your legal registry.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
