How to Use the Infisical MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the Infisical setup with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Infisical server configuration. When your team pulls the latest git commit, VS Code Copilot will automatically recognize the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot pull staging secrets from Infisical?

Yes, Copilot can call listsecrets with the staging environment path to retrieve those values. It uses listenvironments first to map out which stages are available in your project.

Q: Does the VS Code Copilot integration support deleting Infisical secrets?

Yes, you can ask Copilot to run deletesecret to remove a key from your project. Because this action is destructive, the agent will ask for confirmation before executing the command.

Connect VS Code Copilot to the Infisical MCP Server to share secure environments across your entire team.

Team-wide config via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The Infisical MCP server integrates into VS Code Copilot through a shared configuration file committed to your Git repository. When developers open the project in VS Code, Copilot uses `list_secrets` to help them check if their local environment matches the remote team standards. By standardizing this setup, team members can ask VS Code Copilot to check configuration paths without manually sharing env files. The Copilot agent uses `get_project_info` to ensure everyone is pointing to the same secure workspace.

Validate and update credentials in Copilot Chat

The Infisical MCP server lets your development team modify configuration parameters using `update_secret` directly in the VS Code Copilot chat panel. This keeps your central vault updated without requiring developers to switch from VS Code to a web portal. If a developer needs to register a new integration key, the VS Code Copilot agent calls `create_secret` to provision it instantly. This prevents developers from hardcoding temporary credentials in their local files.

Audit access and identities inside VS Code

The Infisical MCP server allows VS Code Copilot to use `list_identities` to display active machine tokens and access points right inside your editor. This allows tech leads to check that automated CI/CD pipelines have the correct scoped permissions using Copilot chat. To maintain compliance during development, your VS Code Copilot agent can call `list_audit_logs` to show a history of recent configuration changes. You can quickly trace when a key was modified without opening external compliance dashboards.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Infisical MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your repository root and add the Infisical server configuration. When your team pulls the latest git commit, VS Code Copilot will automatically recognize the tools.

Yes, Copilot can call `list_secrets` with the staging environment path to retrieve those values. It uses `list_environments` first to map out which stages are available in your project.

Yes, you can ask Copilot to run `delete_secret` to remove a key from your project. Because this action is destructive, the agent will ask for confirmation before executing the command.

The server uses the machine identity token configured in your environment. Copilot's ability to run write tools like `create_secret` depends entirely on the permissions assigned to that token.

Decrypted project metadata and secrets are processed in memory on your local machine. VS Code Copilot communicates with the local MCP daemon, ensuring that raw secrets never pass through public indexing services or training pipelines.
