How to Use the Kintone MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Kintone MCP Server config with our team in VS Code Copilot?

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file containing the server details to your Git repository. When team members open the project in VS Code, Copilot automatically loads the Kintone tools for them.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me construct complex queries for Kintone?

Yes. VS Code Copilot uses listrecords to test query strings against your Kintone database. You can ask the agent to refine your query syntax based on the actual results returned.

Q: How do we verify which Kintone applications are available inside VS Code Copilot?

Ask VS Code Copilot to run listapps inside the chat panel. It will return a complete list of accessible Kintone applications along with their unique IDs.

Share Kintone database access across your entire team using VS Code Copilot and a committed workspace configuration.

Unified Schema Access in VS Code Copilot

The `list_form_fields` tool provides your development team with instant access to the Kintone application schema directly inside VS Code Copilot. By checking field codes and types in the VS Code Copilot chat, developers avoid writing mismatched payloads to Kintone. This ensures that every team member builds integrations that align with the Kintone database constraints. This MCP Server configuration can be committed to your repository via a shared VS Code workspace file. Every developer on your team instantly gains access to `get_app_details` and `get_app_layout`, removing the need for individual Kintone API setup inside VS Code Copilot.

Write and Test Kintone Records with VS Code Copilot

The `add_record` tool allows developers to write test records into Kintone apps directly from the VS Code Copilot interface. Your VS Code Copilot agent verifies your local integration logic by executing real writes and returning the new Kintone record IDs. If your test data is no longer needed, `delete_records` removes those specific Kintone entries instantly. Your team can also use `update_record` to modify existing Kintone fields during debugging inside VS Code Copilot. This interactive loop speeds up integration testing without requiring developers to switch back and forth to a web browser.

Search Kintone Records and Validate Members

The `list_records` tool queries your Kintone application database to fetch real records directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. Your VS Code Copilot agent can quickly check if a specific Kintone record exists or verify its status before you write code to manipulate it. Next, `list_space_members` retrieves the list of users who have access to the Kintone space directly inside VS Code Copilot. This helps your team verify user permissions inside VS Code Copilot and ensure that notification routines assign tasks to valid Kintone workspace members.

Setup guide

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