Standardize Flodesk workflows in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo so every developer uses the same `add_subscriber_to_workflow` implementation. This ensures consistent email triggers across your entire development team. It prevents configuration drift when multiple people work on your marketing stack. Your team accesses the same Flodesk environment with shared tool definitions.

Query Flodesk custom fields in VS Code

Use `list_custom_fields` to ensure your code handles all subscriber metadata correctly before pushing updates. This prevents errors when you `upsert_subscriber` with new data points. It gives your team a clear view of your email data schema. You can rely on the live API response rather than guesswork.

Automate segment management for your team

Use `list_segments` to see the current list architecture and `create_segment` to add new categories as you build features. Your team can maintain organized lists without leaving the IDE. It brings your marketing infrastructure into your development workflow. You manage your subscribers as part of your code deployment cycle.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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