Shared Denim MCP Server Config

Solo developers can hack together scripts, but real teams need standardized environments. You can commit one configuration file to your repository and instantly give every engineer the exact same marketing API access. When a new hire needs to understand the email system, Copilot can run `list_email_templates` to show them the available layouts. They can then use `get_campaign_details` to see exactly how those templates are currently deployed.

Debug Marketing Workflows

Tracking down why a user did not receive a welcome email usually involves asking the marketing team for a dashboard export. Now your developers can investigate the logic right from their editor. Instruct your agent to execute `list_active_automations` to check the current trigger rules. If the rules look correct, it can run `list_crm_contacts` to verify the user actually entered the system properly.

Live Analytics Context

Building internal reporting tools requires knowing exactly what the API returns. Your MCP Server fetches real production numbers so you never have to guess whether a field contains a string or an integer. Asking Copilot to run `get_campaign_analytics` pulls actual click data into your workspace. If you cannot find the right send, `search_active_campaigns` lets the agent query by keyword to locate the exact ID.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Denim MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add a .vscode/mcp.json file to your project root and commit it to version control. When your engineers pull the repo, Copilot automatically picks up the Vinkius MCP Server endpoint. They just need to switch to Agent mode.

No, the current toolset is entirely read-only for workflows. The MCP integration allows your team to run `list_active_automations` to inspect them, but they cannot accidentally break production marketing sequences through the chat interface.

You need version 1.96 or higher. Older releases do not support the protocol required to connect external tools to the chat panel.

Tell your chat window to execute the `get_account_metadata` tool. It will return your current usage statistics and account configuration without requiring a browser tab.

Your segmentation rules and subscriber emails route through a strictly ephemeral environment. Vinkius provisions a temporary V8 isolate for every single request, tearing it down milliseconds later. Your organization relies on one centralized authentication token managed by IT.
