Perplexity

Standardize moderation across your team.

Trust and safety rules change fast. You commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository that points to the `hive-ai-mcp` server so your entire team stays synced. Every developer gets the exact same tools. When they ask Copilot to test a moderation flow, it uses `moderate_text` with your official company credentials automatically.

Build async media pipelines.

Audio and video moderation requires asynchronous logic. Copilot triggers `moderate_audio_async` to start a job on a test file and grabs the resulting task ID. It then uses `get_async_task_result` to pull the final tags. Your team builds reliable polling mechanisms because Copilot actually tests them during development.

Catch synthetic media with this MCP Server.

You need to filter out DALL-E and Midjourney uploads. Copilot runs `detect_ai_generated_image` to see exactly how the API flags synthetic pixels in real time. It does the same for text using `detect_ai_generated_text`. Your developers write precise filtering logic based on actual API behavior, not outdated documentation.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Hive AI MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Copilot reads this automatically for anyone who clones the repo.

You control the MCP server configuration. Developers can run `list_available_models` to see exactly what you approved for that project.

No. You configure the shared MCP server to handle authentication centrally.

Context. Copilot calls the API and immediately writes the TypeScript interface for the response in your active file.

This integration only processes the explicit text snippets, audio files, and video URLs you feed into the tools. We enforce strict TLS connections and drop the media immediately after classification.
