Perplexity

Share KnoCommerce data across your team

The `list_surveys` tool lets your entire engineering team pull active survey IDs directly into their editor via your shared MCP configuration. By committing your setup to the repository, every developer gets instant access to the same post-purchase data. Nobody has to hunt for API keys in Slack. When a developer needs to inspect the survey structure, the `get_survey_details` tool returns the title, status, and high-level configuration. The AI uses this context to write accurate API wrapper functions in your codebase.

Analyze marketing spend with this MCP Server

The `get_channel_attribution_report` tool grabs the latest acquisition metrics from your account. If your team is debugging a discrepancy in the marketing dashboard, Copilot pulls the raw KnoCommerce numbers. You compare the live API response against your database instantly. To cross-reference those numbers with real users, the `list_knocommerce_customers` tool fetches the buyer profiles tied to that survey data. You see exactly which customer segments are driving the attribution metrics.

Debug survey responses in your editor

The `list_survey_responses` tool retrieves raw post-purchase feedback based on a specific survey ID. When a product manager reports a bug in how answers render on the frontend, Copilot pulls the exact JSON payload the API sent. You fix the parsing logic using real data. If the issue is isolated to one user, the `get_response_details` tool isolates that single customer response. You spot the formatting error immediately without leaving VS Code.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about KnoCommerce MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project root and add the server configuration. Commit this file to Git. Every developer using VS Code 1.96+ will inherit the tools automatically.

Yes. You can ask Copilot to run the `check_knocommerce_api_status` tool. It will ping the endpoint and confirm if your current configuration is valid.

The agent can read any template available in your account. It uses `list_survey_templates` to fetch the active list, which helps developers mock frontend rendering logic using live MCP data.

Be specific in your prompt. Instead of asking for all data, tell the agent to fetch a single profile using `get_customer_feedback_profile` with a known customer ID.

The integration relies on a stateless MCP sandbox. When the agent pulls raw survey answers or PII, the data routes through an ephemeral container. Nothing persists on disk after the local process terminates.
