Perplexity

Query Apple devices in VS Code

`list_devices` returns your complete hardware inventory directly to your Copilot chat. Your IT engineering team can query OS versions across the fleet while writing internal compliance dashboards. Copilot uses this live data to suggest accurate API integrations. Deep diving into a specific machine requires `get_device`. When a developer writes a script to troubleshoot a failing endpoint, Copilot pulls that exact Mac's configuration. You stop guessing what software is installed on the target machine.

Track Kandji MCP Server deployments

`list_auto_apps` gives you immediate visibility into standard software libraries. If your team builds an internal offboarding tool, Copilot checks exactly which baseline apps need license revocation. The AI writes the logic based on your actual software stack. Internal tools require tracking via `list_custom_apps`. Copilot reads your non-store software deployments to ensure your custom scripts target the right package versions. Your team stays aligned on what software actually lives on the endpoints.

Build compliance reports as a team

`list_activity` tracks recent management history across your organization. You ask Copilot to generate a weekly audit script, and it knows exactly how to parse the activity logs. The whole team gets the same context because the MCP config lives in your repository. Pairing this with `list_users` maps hardware directly to employees. Copilot writes the SQL or Python needed to join MDM data with your identity provider. You ship internal IT tools significantly faster.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Kandji MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server configuration to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project root. Commit it to your Git repository. Anyone opening the project gets instant access to the MDM tools.

You need VS Code version 1.96 or higher. Ensure Copilot Chat is updated and switch to Agent mode to enable tool execution.

Yes. By checking `list_parameters` and `list_blueprints`, Copilot understands your existing setup. It generates the exact API calls required to push new profiles.

No. It gives developers building internal IT tools a massive speed boost. They query the API from their editor instead of bouncing between documentation and the dashboard.

This integration exposes device serial numbers, installed apps, and user assignments to your editor. Vinkius routes these requests through a V8 Isolate Sandbox. The environment is destroyed the moment the API call completes.
