How to Use the Formstack MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot delete a Formstack form?

Yes, if authorized. The agent can execute deleteform to remove outdated endpoints. It requires explicit confirmation before dropping any live assets.

Q: How do I test Formstack submissions locally in VS Code Copilot?

Your agent calls getsubmissiondetails to pull a real payload from the server. You use that exact JSON structure to write your automated tests.

Equip your entire engineering team with live Formstack data and webhook management via this MCP server inside VS Code Copilot.

Manage webhooks via VS Code Copilot

The `list_form_webhooks` tool audits your routing configurations directly within your editor. Copilot checks where your production forms send data and identifies broken endpoints without requiring a manual dashboard login. When your team deploys a new microservice, the agent uses `create_webhook` to attach it to the relevant forms. Every developer on the project sees the updated data flow immediately.

Pull stats into your terminal

The `get_form_stats` tool retrieves exact completion metrics for your active campaigns. You ask Copilot for the numbers, and it drops the current submission counts straight into your chat window. If a specific form sees a sudden drop in traffic, your agent investigates by calling `list_forms` to check the status. You diagnose the issue while staying focused on your code.

Standardize team structures

The `get_form_details` tool exposes the underlying schema of your intake pipelines. Copilot reads this metadata to ensure your frontend validation perfectly mirrors the backend constraints. If a developer needs to build a new intake flow, they instruct the agent to run `create_form`. The tool generates the structure based on your team's documented standards, keeping data collection consistent.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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