Standardize GitScrum Sprints in VS Code

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repo to share the exact same tools with every developer on your team. This ensures everyone tracks `sprint_metrics` using the same configuration. Your team can query `all_sprints` or `list_tasks` to maintain consistency across the entire codebase. It keeps the development process predictable for everyone involved.

Monitor project health with Copilot

Run `sprint_kpis` to get a pulse on your team's current performance. You can use this data to adjust your sprint planning based on actual velocity rather than gut feelings. Access `sprint_reports` to see the burndown charts within the IDE. It provides the visibility needed to catch bottlenecks before they impact your delivery date.

Manage user stories at scale

Use `create_user_story` to log requirements as you find them during development. The tools allow your team to link code changes to specific tasks and epics easily. Everything is managed through the MCP protocol. Your agents handle the updates to `update_sprint` and other records, keeping your project board up-to-date automatically.

Setup guide

Set up GitScrum Sprints 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.

Common questions about GitScrum Sprints MCP in VS Code Copilot

Yes. By committing your config to the .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository, every team member gets access to the same tools and data sources immediately.

Once configured, any agent with access to your workspace can use the tools to retrieve sprint data. This allows for team-wide visibility into your active work cycles.

Ask your agent to run the list or get tools. It will fetch the latest sprint progress and display the current status of your tasks in the chat.

You can manage your authentication securely via local environment variables. This setup works for individual developers and team-wide deployments alike.

The server functions as an ephemeral conduit for your task and sprint metrics. It does not log your sensitive project information, ensuring your internal data remains confidential.
