Share Marketo tools across your VS Code team

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file to the repo so every developer has the same access. Everyone uses the same `list_campaigns` and `list_programs` tools to maintain consistency. This ensures your entire engineering team interacts with your marketing stack using the same definitions. It prevents the drift caused by individual configurations.

Monitor lead activity in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_activities` during debugging sessions to verify why a lead isn't moving through your automation. Copilot Chat pulls these logs directly into your editor. You see the event history without switching windows. It makes identifying failed trigger points in your Marketo logic significantly faster.

Retrieve smart campaign details in VS Code Copilot

Fetch campaign logic with `get_smart_campaign_by_id` while building features for your marketing platform. Copilot uses this context to suggest accurate, relevant code snippets. You get immediate feedback on how your changes affect active campaigns. It turns your editor into a powerful interface for your marketing infrastructure.

Setup guide

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