Perplexity

Share project links across your team

Stop pinning links in Slack channels where they get lost in ten minutes. Use `create_collection` to build a shared repository of project specifications and design docs. Your team can use `list_collections` to pull up the exact links they need for their current ticket. It keeps everyone on the same page.

Save code references via VS Code Copilot

Found a great StackOverflow answer or GitHub thread? Let Copilot run `create_link` to file it away. You can organize these links instantly using `bulk_update_links` to apply tags matching your current sprint or epic.

Archive web resources using the MCP Server

Avoid broken link issues when external APIs update their documentation. Trigger `archive_link` to store a local copy of the current docs. If you need to verify an old implementation, use `get_archive` to view the exact version of the page you used when writing the code.

Setup guide

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