Team-wide Liftoff integration inside VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire engineering team on the same page by committing an MCP Server configuration directly to your repository. VS Code Copilot reads this setup to give every developer direct access to `list_liftoff_apps` and `list_liftoff_campaigns` without individual configuration pain. This shared environment allows any developer on the team to ask Copilot to inspect live mobile campaign structures, ensuring everyone is writing code against the same production metadata.

Direct access to real-time spend metrics

Building financial tracking tools requires precise spend data. Copilot can call `get_spend_metrics` to fetch live performance numbers directly into your workspace. Instead of searching through API documentation, developers can ask Copilot to inspect the live response structure and write the exact typescript interfaces or database schemas to store your ad spend.

Automate report extraction during local testing

Testing data pipelines is faster when your AI agent handles the heavy lifting. Copilot uses `request_performance_report` and `get_report_status` to initiate and track background reports. The agent then calls `download_report_results` to fetch the raw CSV, allowing you to verify that your ingestion scripts handle the actual Liftoff reporting format correctly.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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