Inspect delivery logs in VS Code Copilot

The `get_message_details` tool uses the MCP protocol to pull specific SMS payloads directly into your editor. When a customer complains about a missing text, you ask the agent for the message ID. It fetches the delivery timestamp and carrier status without you opening a browser. If the message failed, the agent executes `get_kontak_audit_logs` to trace the error. It cross-references the timestamp with your system events to see if the API rejected the request. You diagnose the drop entirely within your coding environment.

Query user data during development

The `get_contact_details` tool retrieves specific user profiles from your database. You give the agent a phone number, and it returns the associated customer metadata. It uses this real profile to write accurate test cases for your notification service. To build bulk messaging features, the agent runs `list_kontak_contacts`. It grabs a sample of your user base to test your loop logic. You see exactly how your script handles missing names or invalid phone numbers before you deploy.

Manage the Kontak MCP Server configuration

The `get_kontak_account_info` tool reads your workspace settings and limits. The agent checks your available SMS credits before running a massive test script. It stops you from draining your balance on a bad loop. You check your incoming message routing by calling `list_kontak_webhooks`. The agent verifies that your production server is the active destination for replies. If a developer accidentally pointed it to localhost, the agent flags the mismatch immediately.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Kontak MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root. Commit this MCP configuration file so every developer inherits the exact same tool access.

Yes. The agent uses send_outbound_sms to fire a text message to your phone. It confirms your integration works before you push code to production.

The agent might be passing an invalid query parameter. Tell it to run list_kontak_tags with no arguments to dump the entire list first.

No. You configure a single environment variable in the shared setup. The entire team authenticates through that central credential.

The tools expose production account limits and personal contact metadata. VS Code routes these requests through your local machine rather than a cloud proxy. The SOC 2 compliant architecture ensures your customer phone numbers stay out of public training sets.
