How to Use the Lattice MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me track my pending Lattice tasks?

Yes. By executing listtasks, your agent retrieves your active checklist from the HR platform and displays it in your chat sidebar.

Q: Is our sensitive HR data safe from model training?

Yes. Your employee goals and task lists fetched via listgoals and listtasks are never stored. Vinkius runs these MCP queries in secure, temporary runtimes, preventing any data leakage or model training on your internal company records.

Equip your engineering team with live Lattice task tracking and goal data inside VS Code Copilot.

Share Lattice contexts across your team in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server allows teams to commit their connection settings directly to their repository. Developers use `list_tasks` to check their pending HR admin items without leaving their workspace. Having these tools in your editor keeps everyone aligned on company milestones. Your team handles administrative overhead quickly and gets back to shipping code.

Map organizational goals to development sprints

The `list_goals` and `get_goal` tools pull company OKRs straight into your active terminal or chat window. Your agent uses this context to write commit messages or documentation that directly references the specific business goals your code supports.

Review team directory details instantly

The `list_users` and `get_user` tools pull up-to-date employee profiles directly inside the editor. You instantly find team leads or project owners associated with specific systems, reducing communication delays during critical deployments.

Setup guide

Set up Lattice 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 Lattice 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.

Verify the connection

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