Team-wide database tooling inside VS Code Copilot

The `execute_fql` tool integrates into your shared developer environment. By checking a single configuration file into git, every engineer on your team can run queries against development databases. This eliminates the need for team members to install separate database GUI clients. Everyone uses the same interface to inspect schemas and run test queries.

Run schema updates using the Fauna MCP Server

Deploying schema updates becomes a collaborative task when using this MCP Server. Your agent reads your schema definitions and runs the `execute_fql` tool to execute the updates. The agent verifies that the collection exists before running updates. This structural check prevents accidental deployment errors during team-wide updates.

Debug database errors during active coding sessions

When your application code throws a database error, your agent uses the `execute_fql` tool to inspect the failing document. It fetches the exact document state to find mismatched fields. You don't have to leave your editor to run manual debug queries. The agent finds the bug, updates the database document, and fixes the application code in one go.

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.

Common questions about Fauna (Serverless DB) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a shared MCP configuration file in your repository and commit it. Every team member gets access to these MCP tools automatically.

Yes, you restrict permissions by using a scoped database key in your environment variables. The execution tool will only be able to perform actions allowed by that specific key's role.

The execution tool handles queries asynchronously. Multiple team members can run queries simultaneously without blocking the editor UI or stalling database transactions.

No, the execution tool runs queries directly over HTTPS. You do not need the database CLI installed on your local machine to manage your data.

Your database credentials are loaded from local environment files that are ignored by git. The configuration file only defines the server connection, keeping your sensitive access keys secure on your local machine.
