How to Use the Dify MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot run Dify chats natively?

Yes, Copilot can call the chat tool directly from the chat panel. This allows developers to test agentic logic and run prompts without switching to an external browser.

Q: How do I retrieve Dify conversation logs in VS Code Copilot?

Use the listconversations and listmessages tools to pull chat history. Copilot can read these logs directly, helping you analyze agent behavior during a debugging session.

Q: Is our Dify application metadata safe within VS Code?

Your Dify parameters fetched via getparameters and file payloads sent via uploadfile are protected by VS Code's enterprise-grade security protocols. Vinkius processes these requests through a secure, ephemeral connection, ensuring no sensitive data is cached or stored.

Standardize Dify workflows with this MCP Server

Commit your .vscode/mcp.json configuration file to your repository to share the server setup with your entire engineering team. Every developer gets immediate access to the same Dify tools inside VS Code Copilot. This eliminates the need for manual API key sharing and local configuration struggles. Your team can run `chat` commands and inspect backend parameters using a unified interface.

Inspect Dify message history in VS Code Copilot

Developers can fetch execution history using `list_conversations` and `list_messages` directly from the chat panel. This makes it easy to audit how your production agents are performing. Instead of digging through a web UI, you can query your history logs using natural language. Keeping your debugging process focused and fast is easier when logs live in your editor.

Upload files and submit execution feedback

The `upload_file` tool allows you to send assets straight to your Dify storage buckets. This is essential for testing document-parsing agents during development. Run `feedback` to flag problematic generations during team tests. You can also pull active configurations with `get_parameters` to verify environment variables before deployment.

Setup guide

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