Standardize GatherContent workflows in VS Code

Commit your MCP configuration to your repository so the whole team uses the same GatherContent tools. Everyone can use `list_content_projects` to stay aligned on project scope. It removes the friction of individual setup. Your team gets a unified way to interact with content data directly in the editor.

Fetch project folders via VS Code

Call `list_project_folders` to navigate your CMS structure without leaving your workspace. It gives you a clear view of how your content is organized. You spend less time context-switching. The information you need is always one command away.

Verify GatherContent connections in VS Code

Use `verify_api_connection` to ensure your team's integration is healthy. It's the first step to debugging any communication issues between your IDE and the CMS. You'll know immediately if there's a configuration mismatch. It keeps your development environment stable and reliable.

Setup guide

Set up GatherContent 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

Switch to Agent mode

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the GatherContent tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent GatherContent transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
