How to Use the Drupal MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot audit user permissions on our Drupal site?

Yes, by using the listdrupalusers tool, the agent can pull active admin lists and flag unauthorized accounts or old profiles.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle file metadata validation?

The agent uses getfilemetadata to retrieve the exact structural matching for file storage. This ensures your frontend media queries request valid file properties.

Perplexity

Map headless routing inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_content_nodes` tool identifies bounded routing spaces inside your headless Drupal models directly from your editor. This gives your development team instant access to the active URL paths and node structures. Pull specific node data using `get_single_node` to verify payload shapes before writing API integration code. This keeps your frontend components aligned with the backend content model.

Standardize taxonomies via the VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `list_term_vocabularies` tool enumerates explicitly attached structured rules exporting taxonomies to your team workspace. This ensures every developer uses the same category structures when building content filters. Verify specific taxonomy properties with `get_taxonomy_term` to keep your tag components accurate. It eliminates manual checks in the CMS admin dashboard.

Audit user accounts and mutate node states

The `list_drupal_users` tool identifies precise active arrays spanning rented admin identities for security auditing. Your team can verify access logs and user roles directly within the editor. Manage media assets using `list_managed_files` and `get_file_metadata` to verify image paths. When content states change, use `patch_cms_node`, `create_cms_node`, or `wipe_cms_node` to update or remove nodes safely.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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