Team-wide telemetry queries inside VS Code Copilot

The `query_data` tool executes DQL queries directly from your Copilot chat interface. By committing the server configuration to your repository, every developer on your team can query live metrics without needing separate setup. This makes debugging production issues a shared, friction-free experience across the codebase. Developers can also run `list_log_sources` to check which log pipelines are active. This ensures everyone writes log statements that align with the team's centralized telemetry standards.

Triage incidents using the VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `list_events` tool fetches active production alerts into your shared development environment. When an incident occurs, your team can use this MCP Server to pull the exact event details with `get_event` and start writing a patch immediately. This cuts down triage time by keeping the error context right next to the code. To ensure you are fixing the right problem, Copilot can run `list_monitors` to pull the active alert rules. You can inspect the specific thresholds with `get_monitor` to verify why the alert triggered in the first place.

Inspect dashboards and workspace settings

The `list_dashboards` tool lists all active visualization boards in your workspace. This helps your team quickly locate where specific service metrics are mapped. You can also run `get_workspace` to verify that your local environment is pointed at the correct production or staging workspace. For compliance and security checks, Copilot can call `list_access_keys` to audit active credentials. You can also run `get_billing` to verify that your team's test suites aren't pushing the workspace over its usage limits.

Setup guide

Set up Guance Cloud / 观测云 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 Guance Cloud / 观测云 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 Guance Cloud / 观测云 tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Guance Cloud / 观测云 transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json
