Standardize docs access in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo so every developer on your team has the same tools. Everyone gets access to `list_documentation_projects` without manual setup. It ensures your team works from the same playbook. When you need to verify a detail, the tools are already there, ready to pull information from DeveloperHub.

Automate documentation awareness in VS Code

Use `list_recently_updated_pages` to catch documentation shifts as they happen. Your team will see updates in their chat window, reducing the time spent hunting for changes. It turns your editor into a hub for project awareness. By using `get_documentation_page_content`, you ensure that every developer is referencing the most current version of your guides.

Explore project structure in VS Code

Get a clear view of your documentation hierarchy with `get_documentation_sitemap`. It helps your AI agent understand where to look for specific information within a large project. This makes your documentation much more discoverable. You’ll save time by letting your agent navigate the project structure, allowing you to focus on building features.

Setup guide

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