How to Use the Fluxguard MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot compare different Fluxguard snapshots of our website?

Yes. Your agent can call listsnapshots to fetch historical states, then run listchanges to identify exactly when a visual regression or code change was introduced.

Q: Can we filter alerts by specific categories in the editor?

Yes. Your agent can query listcategories to filter your alerts. This lets you focus on critical security alerts while ignoring minor staging layout shifts.

Track production site changes and triage visual alerts directly within VS Code Copilot via MCP.

Team-wide visual monitoring with the Fluxguard MCP Server

Define your monitoring configuration in a shared .vscode/mcp.json file. Every developer on your team gets instant access to tools like `list_sites` and `get_site` without manual setup. This shared access allows any team member to run `initiate_crawl` from their chat panel. It ensures everyone tests against the same production visual baselines during development.

Resolve visual regressions during code reviews

When reviewing a pull request, use `list_alerts` to check for outstanding layout discrepancies. Your agent pulls the exact visual differences using `get_change` to show you what broke. If the change is a benign update, run `acknowledge_alert` to clear it. This keeps your team's deployment pipeline moving without manual dashboard checks.

Automate page tracking updates

When adding new routes to your codebase, have your agent run `add_page` to start tracking them instantly. This prevents new features from slipping through without visual regression coverage. Use `list_categories` to find the correct bucket for the new route, or run `create_category` to build a new one. Your team's monitoring matrix stays organized automatically.

Setup guide

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