Standardize Frontify tools in VS Code

Use a shared .vscode/mcp.json file to provide every engineer with access to `list_native_brands` and `get_account_limits`. This ensures your whole team works from the same source of truth. It eliminates configuration drift across your organization. Everyone has the same tools ready to go from the moment they open the project.

Monitor account limits in VS Code

Keep an eye on your usage with `get_account_limits`. It pulls current constraints directly into your chat, so you know exactly when you're hitting your ceiling. This prevents unexpected errors during bulk operations. You can plan your migrations or asset updates based on real-time capacity data.

Automate asset updates via VS Code

Use `patch_asset_metadata` to update file attributes during your CI/CD processes or local development. It keeps your assets correctly tagged without manual intervention. You avoid the common mistakes of manual entry. The tool handles the logic, ensuring your metadata remains consistent across your entire brand portal.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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