About GetStream MCP Server

Connect GetStream to your AI agent to orchestrate complex social architectures and activity feeds using natural language.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings GetStream data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 23 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

  • Feed Management — Retrieve, add, or remove activities from specific feed slugs and user timelines using get_feed and add_activity_to_feed.
  • Activity Orchestration — Update activity metadata or perform partial updates to specific fields via partial_update_activity without rewriting entire objects.
  • Social Graph — Manage follower relationships, list who follows a feed, and perform follow operations using follow_feed and list_feed_followers.
  • Collections & Files — Handle collection objects and manage file/image uploads for rich media experiences.
  • Open Graph — Retrieve Open Graph data for URLs to enrich activity content automatically.

The GetStream MCP Server exposes 23 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

GetStream + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GetStream MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

01

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
02

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
03

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
04

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
