Team-wide Listen Notes integration

Commit your configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` so every dev on your team gets the same tools. Use `search_podcasts_or_episodes` to standardize how your team handles audio data. This keeps your codebase consistent. Everyone uses the same verified endpoints for their tasks.

Automate podcast discovery in VS Code

Use `get_trending_podcast_searches` to feed your team's development tasks with current data. The MCP Server ensures your AI agent has access to the latest trends. It reduces manual research time. Your agents can pull trending data automatically without leaving the editor.

Programmatic podcast metadata access

Integrate `get_podcast_details` into your CI/CD or dev workflows. The tool provides reliable metadata that you can use to build automated content pipelines. It gives you a clean way to fetch show info. Your code stays clean and your data remains accurate.

Setup guide

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