How to Use the Doppler MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share Doppler configurations with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Add the Doppler MCP server to a .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your Git repository. Every developer with Copilot can then use the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot retrieve specific values from Doppler?

Yes. Copilot calls getsecret to fetch individual resolved values, applying any environment fallbacks defined in your Doppler dashboard.

Q: How do I verify my Doppler token permissions in VS Code Copilot?

You can ask Copilot to run getaccount using this MCP server. This tool returns your email, account name, and token metadata so you can verify its access level.

Q: What happens if I try to delete a secret that has a parent fallback?

When Copilot runs deletesecrets on an inherited key, the secret is removed from the active config and reverts to the value inherited from its parent environment.

Securely inject Doppler secrets into VS Code Copilot to automate environment setup for your entire team.

Team-wide secret sharing via VS Code Copilot

Onboarding developers is automated when Copilot uses `list_projects` and `list_configs` to discover the correct environment configurations. Commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository to give your entire team access to this MCP server. When onboarding a new engineer, Copilot runs `list_secrets` to populate their local environment files. This eliminates manual setup wikis and prevents mismatched local configurations.

Audit Doppler activity logs in VS Code Copilot

Monitoring environment health is quick when Copilot calls `list_activity_logs` to show a history of who altered secrets. You get immediate visibility into recent updates before you push code to production. If a config is misaligned, Copilot uses `get_config` to compare settings across different environment templates. This helps you identify configuration drift before it breaks your production build.

Securely modify variables using VS Code Copilot

Modifying variables is safe when Copilot runs `change_secrets` to push new variables directly to Doppler. You update your cloud configurations without leaving your active file, ensuring your team has immediate access to updated keys. If you need to clean up unused variables, Copilot calls `delete_secrets` to remove them. The agent verifies the deletion by running `get_account` to confirm your workspace permissions.

Setup guide

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