Sync SMS playbooks across your team

Commit your MCP configuration to Git so your entire team can access SMS tools inside VS Code Copilot. Developers can run `list_playbooks` to check which campaigns are active without logging into a web dashboard. This shared environment ensures everyone writes code against the same live SMS campaigns. No more out-of-sync API endpoints or broken text templates.

Verify lead pipelines with VS Code Copilot

Building a CRM integration is tricky when you can't see the data. Use Copilot to run `list_leads` directly inside your editor to verify that your sync scripts are sending data correctly. If you spot a mismatch, use `update_lead` to fix the test record on the fly. It saves you from constantly switching to a web browser to check database states.

Audit SMS activity logs in Copilot Chat

Debugging conversational SMS flows requires looking at the actual message history. Ask Copilot to run `list_activities` to pull the latest text exchanges and delivery receipts directly into your chat panel. If an automated text gets stuck, you can pull the specific details using `get_lead`. This lets you quickly diagnose whether it was a network error or a playbook logic issue.

Setup guide

Set up Mav 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.

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.
