Access ManyChat tools via MCP in VS Code Copilot

Teams building custom integrations constantly need to verify user states. Copilot uses `find_subscriber_by_email` to locate a specific contact right in your sidebar. If the profile is missing a required attribute, the agent fixes it using `set_custom_field`. You skip the tedious browser login and keep your hands on the keyboard.

Map your automation schema instantly

Figuring out which tag ID corresponds to a specific campaign is a massive time sink without an MCP Server. Your AI client executes `list_tags` to pull the complete registry into your workspace. It does the same thing for user properties via `list_custom_fields`. Copilot reads the live configuration and writes accurate type definitions for your project.

Test subscriber creation and flow execution

Building a signup flow requires constant validation. Copilot can execute `create_subscriber` to generate a test profile, then immediately hit it with `trigger_flow`. You watch the entire sequence play out. If a user needs to be cleaned up afterward, the agent simply calls `remove_tag` to reset their state for the next test run.

Setup guide

Set up ManyChat 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

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.

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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the ManyChat tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent ManyChat transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
