Standardize Klaviyo Access for Your Team

The best part of this setup is the shared configuration. Define the Klaviyo MCP Server once in your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Every developer who pulls the repo gets the same tools, automatically. This ends the "it works on my machine" problem. New hires are productive on day one, with no time wasted setting up API access or hunting for keys. Your whole team can use Copilot to query `list_profiles` or `list_segments` with a consistent, secure setup.

Run Pre-Deployment Checks with Copilot

Before you ship new code that relies on Klaviyo, you can use Copilot to run a few checks. Ask it, "Confirm the 'New User Welcome' flow exists" and it will use `list_automated_flows` to verify. You can also check for expected `list_metrics` or confirm a specific tag is available with `list_tags`. It's a simple way to build a manual pre-flight checklist right into your development workflow, catching issues before they hit production.

Manage Klaviyo Data from Your Editor

Your agent can interact with Klaviyo data directly. You can ask Copilot to find a user with `get_profile` to debug an issue, or create a new test profile with `create_profile` without leaving your editor. This is useful for backend developers who need to understand the marketing data structure. Ask Copilot to fetch the schema for a `track_event` call or list the properties in an existing `list_segments` response. It's faster than digging through documentation.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Klaviyo MCP in VS Code Copilot

Once configured, any developer can ask Copilot, "List the recent campaigns from Klaviyo." The agent will use the `list_campaigns` tool and show the results right in the chat panel.

Yes. Just tell the Copilot agent, "Create a new Klaviyo profile with the email test@example.com." It will run the `create_profile` tool for you.

There's no command to memorize. Simply ask the agent in plain English, "Show me all the email templates in Klaviyo." It will use the `list_email_templates` tool to get them.

It connects directly to your existing Klaviyo account using a private API key. The `.vscode/mcp.json` file points to the server, which then authenticates your requests to Klaviyo.

The server interacts with your Klaviyo customer profiles, campaign data, and marketing lists. Credentials can be stored in a `.env` file and referenced in the `.vscode/mcp.json` config, which you then add to `.gitignore` to keep secrets out of your repository.
