Connect GatherUp MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect GatherUp to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide feedback automation via VS Code Copilot
`reply_to_online_review` enables your team to build shared response templates directly in VS Code Copilot. Your agent suggests on-brand replies to external reviews, which developers can execute without leaving the editor. By committing a shared configuration file to your repository, every developer gets instant access to `list_online_reviews`. This keeps your entire engineering team aligned on customer sentiment.
Manage business locations with this MCP Server
`list_business_locations` lets VS Code Copilot map out your entire brand hierarchy. Your agent uses this data to write location-specific routing rules for incoming support tickets. To ensure your routing rules work, `get_review_metrics` pulls live performance data for each branch. You can test your code against actual metrics before deploying to production.
Build customer sync pipelines in your IDE
`add_new_customer` lets your team test customer onboarding webhooks directly within VS Code Copilot. Your agent triggers sync actions to verify that new users flow into your feedback system. You can then use `list_customer_contacts` to verify that the sync worked. This eliminates the need to manually log into a web portal to check database states.
