Deploy Team-Wide Mocking via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `list_users` tool acts as a shared data source for your entire engineering team inside VS Code Copilot. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer's agent can query the same mock user base. Developers can run `create_user_todo` to test how task assignments function across different team members. This ensures everyone is testing against the same data models without local drift.

Simulate Complete Content Feeds

The `list_user_posts` tool allows VS Code Copilot to fetch author-specific feeds directly into your editor chat. Your agent can inspect the returned payload to help you write clean, type-safe data fetching hooks. If you need to test comment moderation features, your agent can call `list_post_comments` to pull realistic discussion threads. This lets you debug rendering bugs in your comment components before committing code.

Perform Safe State Resets

The `delete_user` tool allows VS Code Copilot to prune test accounts that clutter your team's mock workspace. The agent can quickly wipe test records using the MCP connection. It's straightforward. For rapid prototyping, your agent can run `replace_user` to completely overwrite a user profile. It gives you a fast way to reset a test subject's state without writing manual database migration scripts.

Setup guide

Set up GoRest 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

Add the GoRest MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gorest-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
