Standardize team posts in VS Code

Commit your server config to the repo so everyone uses the same tools. The `create_publication_post` tool ensures every team member hits the right publication. It eliminates manual errors across your team. Everyone follows the same publishing protocol directly from their own editor instances.

Automate public post creation

Trigger `create_public_post` to push updates after you merge a feature. It's the quickest way to keep your audience updated on new releases. Your agent handles the authentication and the payload. You just handle the commit and the push.

Check your user profile

Need to confirm which account is linked to your current workspace? Run `get_authenticated_user` to verify your identity. It prevents you from accidentally posting to the wrong account. You'll always know exactly who is sending the request.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "medium-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
