Share Gameball configs in VS Code

Commit your MCP setup to the repository so the whole team stays synced. Every developer gets the same access to player data. Use `list_players` to verify environment parity across different machines without manual setup.

Debug loyalty logic in VS Code

Check player statuses directly from your editor. Identify why a challenge isn't triggering by inspecting the source of truth. Call `get_player_details` to see exactly what is happening for a specific user during your development cycle.

Verify reward structures in VS Code

Ensure your frontend matches the backend rewards. Your agent can pull the current catalog to help you style components. Run `list_rewards` to confirm your UI reflects the current configuration on the server.

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.

Common questions about Gameball MCP in VS Code Copilot

You can. By placing your configuration in a .vscode/mcp.json file, you enable everyone on the team to use the same tools.

It does. Once you set up the MCP Server, switch to Agent mode and your assistant will have direct access to every tool in the catalog.

Use the MCP: Open User Configuration command or check your project settings. Once active, the hammer icon confirms the tools are ready.

You need VS Code 1.96 or higher. Ensure your MCP Server is properly defined in your JSON config to start querying data.
