How to Use the Flow MCP in VS Code Copilot
Sync your development sprint with Flow using VS Code Copilot and our dedicated MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Flow MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Flow to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share Flow project context via VS Code Copilot
The `list_projects` and `get_project` tools let VS Code Copilot pull shared board configurations directly into your team's workspace using our MCP Server. By committing a shared configuration file to your repository, every developer gets instant access to project metadata. This ensures your entire engineering team stays aligned. Your agent can reference the exact project parameters to make sure everyone is writing code against the same specifications.
Log code progress directly to Flow tasks
The `add_task_comment` and `update_task` tools let VS Code Copilot update your tracking cards directly from the chat interface. You can close out a task or log a blocker without opening a browser tab. This keeps your sprint board accurate in real time. Your agent handles the API calls to mark tasks complete as soon as your pull request is ready.
Query team assignments inside VS Code Copilot
Using `list_workspace_members` and `list_workspace_teams` allows VS Code Copilot to identify who is responsible for specific project tracks. You can ask your agent who is on the QA team before assigning a newly created ticket. This cuts down on internal slack messages. Your agent looks up the team structure and suggests the right assignee for your new task.
