How to Use the Elemeno MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Elemeno MCP Server config in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Elemeno server configuration. Once pushed to Git, any team member using VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot can use the tools immediately.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot search for specific Elemeno content?

Yes, Copilot uses searchcollectioncontent to find items using a title or slug keyword. It then inspects the structure using getcollectionitemdetails to help you write exact GraphQL or REST queries.

Q: Does the Elemeno integration with VS Code Copilot support account checks?

Yes, you can run getelemenoaccountmetadata to check your account limits and metadata. This helps you monitor API usage and plan constraints directly from your terminal or chat panel.

Align your team on Elemeno schemas in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server exposes `list_content_collections` and `get_collection_details` directly to your team's VS Code Copilot environment. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` config to your repository, every developer on the project instantly gains the ability to query live CMS structures. Copilot writes accurate data-fetching code because it can inspect the exact fields configured in your Elemeno account. This removes the friction of developers constantly asking each other for schema updates or API documentation.

Verify published content states without leaving VS Code

The Elemeno MCP Server lets your Copilot Agent run `list_published_content` and `get_collection_item_details` to inspect live production data. When building dynamic routes or static generation pipelines, Copilot checks which items are actually published to ensure your code handles them correctly. You can debug build-time errors caused by missing or draft content right from your editor. Copilot analyzes the live payload and suggests defensive coding patterns to prevent site crashes.

Audit CMS volume and singletons during code reviews

Using `quick_content_volume_audit` and `list_content_singletons` inside VS Code Copilot lets developers run high-level checks during pull request reviews. If a PR changes how global settings are parsed, Copilot pulls the live singleton schema to verify the new code is backwards-compatible. This automated validation prevents breaking changes from slipping into production. Your team maintains a fast, reliable deployment cycle backed by real CMS metadata.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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