Manage team projects with VS Code Copilot

Commit your MCP config to your repo so the whole team stays on the same page. Use `list_projects` to ensure every developer has access to the same site context. When you need specifics, `get_project_details` provides the exact data your team needs to build features. It keeps your development environment consistent across the board.

Track workspace users via VS Code Copilot

See who is active in your Gripr workspace without leaving the editor. The `list_workspace_users` tool gives you a live look at your team's current availability. This helps you coordinate tasks more effectively. You get clear visibility into your project contributors, making it easier to assign work to the right person.

Control safety compliance in VS Code Copilot

Bring HSE and QA form tracking into your IDE. Use `list_forms` to pull recent safety documents into your chat, allowing your team to review compliance status in seconds. It makes safety a part of your daily code review process. You can catch issues early by checking the status of inspections directly from your editor.

Setup guide

Set up Gripr 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 Gripr 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.

Verify the connection

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