Automate Fastly deployments via VS Code Copilot

Your development team can check active Fastly setups using `get_service` inside VS Code Copilot. Copilot reads your edge configuration to ensure local workspace changes match what is currently live on Fastly. When you are ready to ship, your VS Code Copilot agent runs `activate_service_version` to roll out the Fastly update. This eliminates manual configuration steps from your team release process inside VS Code.

Map Fastly backend origins using this MCP Server in VS Code

This MCP Server lets your team audit Fastly edge routing using `list_version_backends` inside VS Code Copilot. You see every origin server associated with your active Fastly configuration version directly in the editor. To prevent routing errors, your VS Code Copilot agent uses `list_version_domains` to verify all custom domains point to the correct Fastly backend. Catching configuration drift early keeps your production traffic safe.

Purge Fastly CDN cache and monitor performance in VS Code Copilot

Using this MCP Server, run `purge_all_cache` straight from your VS Code Copilot editor panel when pushing critical hotfixes. Your Copilot agent clears the Fastly edge globally so your users get the updated files immediately. You track the immediate aftermath using `get_service_stats` to watch Fastly traffic stabilize inside VS Code Copilot. Having this operational data inside the editor keeps your team focused on one workspace.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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