Team-wide music data access

Commit the server config to your repo so everyone on your team has access to the same tools. Use `get_top_albums` to pull shared listening stats for your team's project. It removes the friction of individual setup. Your whole team gets the same data access standard in every workspace.

Deep dive into track info

Use `get_track_info` to pull metadata for your project's music assets. VS Code Copilot handles the calls so you don't have to leave your flow. It provides the granular details you need for your work. You'll have consistent access to track data throughout your development process.

Streamline profile retrieval

Retrieve your latest activity with `get_recent_tracks`. The agent pulls the list and presents it within the chat side panel. It's a straightforward way to see your recent history. You'll get your data without switching windows or checking the web.

Setup guide

Set up Last.fm 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

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.

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Last.fm tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Last.fm transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
