How to Use the Groove MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does VS Code Copilot access Groove customer records?

The agent uses getcustomer and listcustomers to retrieve user profiles. This helps developers debug account-specific issues directly from the editor.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot list all Groove agents on our account?

Yes, it can. Copilot runs listagents to get a list of active support staff, making it easy to see who is assigned to a specific ticket.

Q: What happens if a ticket has hundreds of messages?

Copilot will use listmessages to fetch the thread. If the history is extremely long, it may truncate the output to fit within your token limits.

Share Groove support workflows across your entire engineering team inside VS Code Copilot.

Manage Groove queues as a team in VS Code Copilot

Keep your engineering team aligned on urgent customer issues. By committing an MCP config to your repo, VS Code Copilot can instantly run `list_tickets` to show active bugs. Developers can inspect specific issues using `get_ticket` without opening a browser. This keeps everyone focused on shipping fixes instead of triaging tickets manually.

Update support states directly from your commits

Close the loop on bugs as soon as you push code. VS Code Copilot can run `update_ticket_state` to mark tickets as resolved right from your chat container. You can also use `create_message` to leave an internal note explaining the fix. This updates your support staff instantly without requiring a manual update in another app.

Map support mailboxes to your codebase structure

Align your repositories with your support channels. This MCP Server allows VS Code Copilot to fetch your support structure using `list_mailboxes` and details via `get_mailbox`. Your team can write automated routing rules by checking agent availability with `list_agents`. This ensures your code matches the actual distribution of your support team.

Setup guide

Set up Groove 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.

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