Sync LaunchDarkly flags in VS Code

Stop manual configuration drift. Use `list_feature_flags` to pull the current project state into your IDE so every team member sees the same thing. This ensures your code remains aligned with the actual flag settings. You avoid the friction of mismatched local and remote environments.

Verify environments in VS Code

Check your deployment targets without leaving the editor. Use `list_environments` to ensure your local code is pointing to the right LaunchDarkly context. You can quickly switch between staging and production configurations. It keeps your development cycle tight and prevents accidental production updates.

Access audit logs from VS Code

Review recent modifications to your flags without shifting context. The `list_audit_logs` tool provides a clear record of who changed what and when. This is essential for team accountability. You can verify recent changes during code reviews without ever opening the browser.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
