FutureVault MCP Server in VS Code

The `list_digital_vaults` tool lets your entire development team query the same live environments. You commit the MCP configuration to your repository, and everyone gets instant access. When a junior developer needs to understand the architecture, Copilot runs `get_vault_details` and `list_vault_folders` to explain the exact setup. Nobody has to hunt down API keys or read stale wiki pages.

Discover metadata and files

The `search_vault_content` tool allows Copilot to locate specific test files across your organization's vaults. Ask for a sample tax document. The agent finds it immediately. It follows up with `get_document_metadata` to pull the exact file attributes needed for your code. If a test fails, Copilot checks `list_folder_documents` to see if the target file even exists in the expected directory.

Verify identity and roles

The `get_my_identity` tool confirms exactly which developer account Copilot is using to make API calls. This prevents confusing permission errors when team members share scripts. If someone lacks access to a resource, the agent can call `list_system_roles` and `get_member_details` to debug the authorization mismatch. It runs `verify_api_connection` first to rule out basic network issues.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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