Deploy Kevel tools to VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repo to give every dev the same access. Everyone uses the same `list_campaigns` and `list_flights` tools instantly. It keeps the whole team on the same page. No more manual setup or inconsistent tool versions across the engineering group.

Manage creatives with VS Code Copilot

Use `list_creatives` to audit assets across the team's project. The agent helps you find specific creatives without needing a separate admin login. It's ideal for debugging ad rendering issues. You can verify the creative ID and metadata directly in your editor.

Sync inventory logic in VS Code Copilot

Call `list_sites` and `list_zones` to ensure your team's code matches your ad inventory. It prevents errors caused by outdated placement IDs. Everything is version-controlled. You can trust that the data your agent sees is the same data your production app is using.

Setup guide

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