How to Use the DoubleTick MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we deploy the DoubleTick MCP Server with VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and configure the server under the mcpServers key. Once committed, any developer using VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot will automatically inherit these WhatsApp tools. This ensures consistent environment setups across your entire engineering team.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot verify customer opt-in status via DoubleTick?

Yes, Copilot can call listoptedincontacts to verify if a specific phone number is cleared for messaging. You can ask Copilot to run this check during code reviews to ensure your dispatch logic adheres to regional regulations.

Share WhatsApp messaging tools across your entire team using VS Code Copilot and a committed MCP configuration.

Share this MCP Server across your team

`list_approved_templates` allows every developer on your team to query active WhatsApp templates directly through VS Code Copilot. By committing the server configuration to your repository, team members instantly gain access to your messaging assets. This prevents developers from using outdated template formats in their local environments. When writing notification services, Copilot uses `send_whatsapp_template` to generate precise payload schemas based on your live account data. Your team can build and verify messaging features without sharing manual API keys.

Audit WhatsApp performance in VS Code Copilot

`quick_whatsapp_volume_audit` pulls real-time messaging metrics and delivery success rates directly into your VS Code Copilot interface. This allows your engineering team to monitor production health without switching to an external monitoring tool. You can quickly see if delivery rates drop after a new deployment. For deeper infrastructure checks, Copilot calls `get_doubletick_account_metadata` to verify system-level limits and account health. This helps you diagnose rate-limit issues during high-volume dispatch runs.

Verify contact compliance in the editor

`list_opted_in_contacts` exposes your verified subscriber list directly to VS Code Copilot, ensuring compliance checks are built right into your code. This MCP capability lets developers write validation routines that cross-reference local database states with live DoubleTick opt-in records. Compliance violations are stopped before code ever hits production. You can also use `list_conversation_messages` to review actual conversation histories when debugging chat flows. Copilot displays these logs in the chat panel, making it easy to spot where an automated dialogue tree broke down.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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