Connect MagicBell MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect MagicBell 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.
Trigger team-wide broadcasts from the chat
The `create_broadcast` tool lets you trigger real multi-channel alerts directly from your VS Code Copilot chat panel. Make manual notification testing a thing of the past for your engineering team. Your team can commit a shared configuration file to your repository. This gives every engineer instant access to fire test alerts while writing code.
Debug delivery failures in your workspace
The `get_broadcast` tool fetches the exact delivery status and error logs of any alert inside your VS Code Copilot workspace. When an alert fails to deliver, you do not need to dig through log management tools. Having this diagnostic data directly in your workspace helps your team pinpoint integration issues in seconds. You do not have to leave your editor to investigate.
Audit notification history as a team
The `list_broadcasts` tool lets VS Code Copilot pull a clean list of recent project broadcasts directly into your editor using this MCP Server. Keep your team aligned on what notifications are active and firing. Confirm that your staging or production environments are sending the expected volume of alerts. This makes deployment checks much faster.
