About Magicplan MCP Server

Connect your Magicplan workspace to any AI agent to automate your architectural and estimation workflows. This MCP server enables your agent to interact with floor plans, retrieve precise spatial measurements, and access detailed financial estimates directly from natural language interfaces.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Magicplan data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Project Oversight — List all architectural projects and retrieve detailed metadata and status updates
Spatial Intelligence — Access full floor plan spatial data including floors, rooms, and individual object placements
Precise Measurements — Retrieve numeric statistics such as area, perimeter, and volume for any plan or specific room
Estimation Audit — Access comprehensive financial breakdowns including labor, materials, taxes, and itemized positions
User Management — List collaborators and manage workspace access across your architectural teams
Data Collection — Query inspection forms and survey data attached directly to your floor plans

The Magicplan MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Magicplan + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Magicplan MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
