VS Code Copilot team IAM workflows

Deploy this MCP Server across your engineering team to ensure everyone uses the same tools. Everyone can run `list_users` or `update_user` using a shared configuration. It reduces friction during onboarding. Your team spends less time hunting for admin console links and more time shipping features.

Automated Keycloak auth flows

Define your auth logic as code. The agent uses `create_auth_flow` to build out complex login sequences based on your requirements. It ensures consistency across your environments. By using `list_auth_flows`, you can verify that your configurations match the expected design before deployment.

Audit-ready Keycloak operations

Keep your security team happy by using `list_admin_events` for quick checks. The agent provides a clear history of changes made to the realm. It makes troubleshooting faster. When something breaks, calling `get_realm` gives you the current state of your setup in seconds.

Setup guide

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

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