How to Use the Flipt MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the Flipt MCP Server configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it. Any team member using VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot in Agent mode will automatically load the configured MCP Server tools.

Q: How do I check active API tokens in VS Code Copilot?

Run listtokens through the Copilot chat. The agent will query your Flipt instance and display the active authentication tokens configured for your current environment.

Q: Does this server support multiple namespaces?

Yes. The agent uses listnamespaces to discover all available environments. You can then specify which namespace to target when calling tools like listflags or listrules.

Share consistent Flipt flag configurations across your entire engineering team directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Team-Wide Flag Discovery with VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire development team aligned on active features. By committing the configuration to your repo, every developer can use `list_flags` and `list_namespaces` directly within their chat window. The agent queries `list_rules` to explain complex targeting logic to junior developers. This eliminates the need for team members to log into a separate dashboard just to check flag status.

Automated Constraint and Distribution Mapping

Let your agent map out complex targeting rules before you deploy. The agent calls `list_segments` to retrieve current user groups and displays them in your workspace. By analyzing `list_rollouts`, the agent flags potential conflicts in your release strategy. You get a clear picture of how rules intersect before committing changes.

Declarative Flag Provisioning via MCP Server

Provision your feature flags directly from your editor. The agent uses `create_variant` to set up new variations based on your current workspace context. It then configures targeting rules using `create_constraint` and `create_distribution` to match your deployment requirements. This ensures your code and flag configurations are deployed in perfect sync.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Flipt MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your repository root and commit it. Any team member using VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot in Agent mode will automatically load the configured MCP Server tools.

Yes, if your API token has write permissions, the agent can use `create_variant` and `create_constraint`. You can restrict this by providing a read-only token to limit the agent to listing tools.

Run `list_tokens` through the Copilot chat. The agent will query your Flipt instance and display the active authentication tokens configured for your current environment.

Yes. The agent uses `list_namespaces` to discover all available environments. You can then specify which namespace to target when calling tools like `list_flags` or `list_rules`.

Credentials are kept local to your machine or managed via secure environment variables. The MCP Server only handles configuration payloads like flag names and segment rules, never exposing raw secrets.
