How to Use the DataDome MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team share access to the DataDome MCP server with VS Code Copilot?

You just commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your project's Git repository. Once that file is present, anyone on the team who opens the project in VS Code will automatically have the DataDome tools available in Copilot.

Q: Can I check the bot traffic summary for DataDome using VS Code Copilot?

Yes. In the Copilot chat, ask it to getbottrafficsummary. It will return a breakdown of good bots, bad bots, and human traffic directly from the DataDome API.

Q: How do I list all applications protected by DataDome within VS Code Copilot?

Simply ask Copilot to run the listprotectedapplications tool. It will provide a list of your app names and the protection types enabled for each one.

Q: Is there a way to get raw access logs?

Yes, the listaccesslogs tool streams recent requests processed by DataDome. You can ask Copilot to fetch them for you. It's useful for detailed debugging.

Let your whole team query DataDome bot protection status from VS Code Copilot.

Give your whole team visibility

Check the `mcp.json` file into your repo, and every developer using VS Code gets instant access to the DataDome MCP Server. Anyone can ask Copilot to run `list_recent_threats` to see what's going on without needing admin access to the dashboard. This means your team can self-serve when they have questions. Instead of filing a ticket, a developer can just ask Copilot to run `get_protection_stats` or `get_endpoint_health` to check on the service they're working on.

Audit protected endpoints with VS Code Copilot

Keep your configuration honest. Use Copilot to run `list_protected_endpoints` to see exactly which URLs are covered by DataDome. It’s a fast way to verify that a new deployment is actually protected. You can also review your custom rules directly in the editor. The `list_custom_bot_rules` tool shows you the match criteria and actions for all your rules. It's useful for making sure your team's changes didn't introduce a conflicting rule.

Investigate incidents from your IDE

When an alert comes in, you can start investigating right from VS Code. Give Copilot a threat ID and tell it to use `get_threat_details`. You'll get the request headers and behavioral patterns without opening a browser. You can also get broader context. Ask Copilot to `search_threats_by_type` to see if a specific attack is widespread, or use `list_access_logs` to see the raw request data around the time of an incident. This is a powerful MCP setup.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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