VS Code Copilot team-wide form access

Commit your mcp.json to the repository so every engineer has the same access to Formsite tools. It keeps the team aligned on form structures and reporting. Developers can use `list_forms` to quickly find the right ID for their tasks. No more digging through admin panels to find simple configuration values.

Automated reporting for engineers

Use `get_form_reports` to pull performance metrics directly into your IDE. It helps the team spot data trends without leaving the editor. It works great for building internal dashboards. You can loop through `list_results` to feed your test suites with real-world data.

Manage webhooks via git-managed config

Define your integration requirements in your repo and let the agent handle the setup. `create_webhook` allows you to define standard event listeners for your team's services. It ensures consistency across dev, staging, and production. You can verify your setup at any time by running `list_webhooks`.

Setup guide

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