Team-wide stream analytics in VS Code Copilot

The `get_stream_categories` tool lists all active game and IRL directories for your team's tracking applications. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to these categories. This setup ensures your team uses identical schemas when building data pipelines. Copilot can generate analytical queries using real directory structures.

Real-time channel monitoring and chat access

Run the `get_room_detail` tool to inspect channel titles, statuses, and live metrics. To build custom chat clients, your team can call `get_danmu_config` to fetch WebSocket parameters. This MCP Server simplifies team development by standardizing how you access live data. Developers don't need to manually register separate API keys to start testing.

Audience monetization tracking

Use the `get_top_donators` tool to extract leaderboards for financial analysis. To trace specific viewer actions, `get_user_stats` provides the necessary profile metrics. Your team can analyze the virtual gift economy by running this MCP tool to pull active lists with `get_gift_list`. Copilot uses this data to write precise data models for your analytics platform.

Setup guide

Set up Douyu 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.

Switch to Agent mode
