Standardize meeting notes in VS Code Copilot

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo to give the whole team access. Everyone uses the same `get_transcript` and `get_insights` tools. This ensures the team stays aligned on technical specs. No one misses a detail from the daily standup.

List and filter workspace recordings

Use `list_recordings` to see what is available in your team's workspace. It makes finding specific discussions straightforward. Your agent can filter these by tags using `list_tags`. You find the exact technical debt discussion you were looking for.

Review team member contributions

Call `list_workspace_members` to see who was in a meeting. It helps your agent identify the right person to reference for specific features. This provides better context for your pull requests. You know exactly which meeting defined the current architecture.

Setup guide

Set up Grain 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 Grain 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 Grain tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Grain transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

Common questions about Grain MCP in VS Code Copilot

Yes, by adding the configuration to your project's .vscode/mcp.json file. This makes the tools available to every developer on the team.

Simply ask the agent to get the transcript for a specific recording ID. It uses the `get_transcript` tool to fetch the text for you.

The tools are available as long as the server is running. You can query your workspace recordings whenever the agent is active.

Your team's meeting information is accessed via secure API calls. The server performs no persistent storage of transcripts or sensitive data.

We enforce strict data isolation. Your meeting transcripts and action items remain within your authorized workspace and are only accessed when you trigger a tool.
