Connect Lunatask MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Lunatask to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share Lunatask tools across your team
Commit your configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` to ensure every engineer has access to the same task management tools. This makes it simple to manage your workflow consistently across the entire organization. Your team can use `create_new_task` or `update_existing_task` with uniform settings. It removes the guesswork from setting up local developer environments.
Track progress directly in VS Code Copilot
Use `track_habit_completion` to log your daily goals as you work. It is a quick way to stay accountable without leaving the IDE. Engineers can also use `list_notes_metadata` to check their journals. It keeps your documentation and code in one place.
Access task metadata via the Lunatask MCP Server
Run `list_tasks_metadata` to pull your current task list into your chat window. It gives you the structure you need to organize your coding sprints effectively. When you need to look at specific items, `get_task_metadata` provides the details. It is a professional way to manage your work while keeping your data secure.
