Standardize Kibana Environments with VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server uses `create_space` and `copy_saved_objects` to distribute standard Kibana dashboard layouts across your team's development environments directly inside VS Code Copilot. By committing the server configuration to your repository, every engineer gets instant access to Kibana setup tools. When a teammate needs a clean environment, they ask VS Code Copilot to provision it in Kibana. The agent calls `list_spaces` to check for conflicts, then spins up the new workspace with the correct index patterns.

Debug Kibana Connectors and Rules in VS Code Copilot

The server runs `execute_connector` and `get_connector` to validate Kibana integration pipelines directly inside your VS Code Copilot chat. You don't need to trigger real alerts to test your Slack or webhook endpoints. Ask VS Code Copilot to run the Kibana connector with a test payload. The agent displays the execution status and response headers, making it easy to fix routing errors in your code.

Bulk Update Kibana Configurations from VS Code Copilot

This Kibana MCP integration uses `bulk_update_saved_objects` and `list_data_views` to apply schema updates to multiple dashboards simultaneously within VS Code Copilot. Instead of clicking through the Kibana UI for every change, you describe the modification in chat. The VS Code Copilot agent processes the bulk Kibana request, updates the target fields, and verifies the changes. This ensures your team's tracking dashboards stay synchronized with your codebase.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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