How to Use the Innform MCP in VS Code Copilot
Manage enterprise training compliance and learner accounts directly inside VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Innform MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Innform to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Provision users via MCP Server
Triggering `invite_user` provisions new employee accounts straight from your editor. Your IT team stops logging into a separate web portal just to grant training access. Assigning those hires to the right department happens through `list_groups`. The AI client matches your internal active directory teams to the correct learning paths automatically.
Audit compliance gaps
Fetching `list_overdue_assignments` gives your agent immediate visibility into missed safety modules. You ask Copilot who missed the deadline, and it prints the exact names in your chat window. Confirming compliance takes one call to `list_completed_assignments` for the remaining staff. This MCP capability gives managers a clear picture of department readiness without exporting a single CSV.
Control LMS access states
Sending a `freeze_user` command through the MCP integration locks out departed employees instantly. You eliminate the security risk of ex-staff retaining access to proprietary training materials. Mistakes happen during bulk updates. Calling `unfreeze_user` alongside `update_user` restores access and corrects profile details in seconds.
