How to Use the Dialpad MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the Dialpad MCP Server with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in the root of your project repository and commit it to Git. When your team opens the project in VS Code 1.96+, Copilot detects the server automatically.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot send test SMS messages through Dialpad?

Yes, your agent executes dispatchofficesms to send outbound messages. This allows your team to test messaging workflows directly from the Copilot chat interface.

Q: How do I check my team's active status from VS Code Copilot?

Ask your agent to check active profiles. It runs getagentprofile to pull the team's current status and configurations directly into your editor view.

Q: Can I retrieve active directory lists using this server?

Yes, the agent invokes listteamcontacts to fetch your business contacts. This lets you inspect phone numbers and names without switching to an external browser tab.

Q: How is my Dialpad credentials and SMS payload data secured in VS Code Copilot?

All SMS payload data transmitted via dispatchofficesms is encrypted in transit. Vinkius hosts the server in a secure, SOC 2 compliant environment, isolating your API keys so they are never exposed to the LLM provider or third parties.

Team-wide Dialpad directory management in VS Code Copilot

Commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` configuration to your repository to give your entire team access to `upsert_business_contact` in VS Code Copilot. Every developer can instantly sync directory updates from their editor. This shared Dialpad MCP Server ensures that your team uses identical tools inside VS Code Copilot to manage contact records. Your agent runs `wipe_directory_entry` to clean up duplicate files during collaborative refactoring.

Monitor active phone routing from your editor

VS Code Copilot runs `list_ivr_departments` to map out your company's phone routing branches directly in the chat panel. This lets you debug call-routing logic without logging into the Dialpad administrator portal. The VS Code Copilot agent pulls live extension details using `get_person_details` to confirm that routing rules match your codebase. It checks these configurations before you commit changes to your production branch.

Inspect telephony logs during team debugging sessions

Your agent runs `list_raw_call_logs` via the MCP Server to pull real-time call histories into your VS Code Copilot interface. This allows you to diagnose connection issues during collaborative live-share sessions. The VS Code Copilot agent analyzes error paths using `list_call_statistics` to find out why specific client calls failed. It matches these logs against your application errors to speed up bug resolution.

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.
