Connect MediaSilo MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect MediaSilo 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.
Standardize MediaSilo project access with VS Code Copilot
The `list_projects` tool lets your entire development team query active MediaSilo project structures from the VS Code Copilot chat panel. You can commit a single configuration file to Git so every engineer has the same MCP Server access to MediaSilo. This shared setup means nobody has to manually look up MediaSilo project IDs when writing custom integrations in VS Code Copilot. VS Code Copilot reads the live MediaSilo project list to help developers write precise API calls.
Inspect folders and assets within VS Code Copilot
The `list_folders` tool maps out the subdirectory structure of your MediaSilo projects directly inside VS Code Copilot. You can quickly see how your post-production MediaSilo assets are organized without opening the web console from VS Code Copilot. When writing scripts to automate MediaSilo file ingestion, VS Code Copilot uses `get_project_assets` to verify that your code targets the correct directories. This keeps your team's VS Code Copilot automation scripts aligned with your actual MediaSilo storage.
Audit active Quicklinks directly in your editor
The `list_quicklinks` tool pulls all active MediaSilo review links into VS Code Copilot to simplify compliance audits. Your development team can quickly verify which client MediaSilo review links are still active during development in VS Code Copilot. VS Code Copilot uses `get_quicklink` to check security settings and recipient lists on these active MediaSilo links. This lets your engineering team build secure internal tools in VS Code Copilot that respect MediaSilo's access controls.
