Standardized MeisterTask tools for teams

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo to give every dev access to the same tools. Everyone uses `list_all_accessible_tasks` to maintain visibility on the project scope. This eliminates configuration drift. Your team stays aligned on priorities because the agent sees the same board data for every developer.

Manage project history in VS Code Copilot

Need to know why a task was created? Use `list_task_comments` to view the history inside the chat panel. It saves you from digging through old emails. Everything you need to understand the ticket is right there in your editor.

Streamlined task management in VS Code Copilot

Use `create_new_task` to log bugs directly from your terminal output. The agent captures the context and attaches it to your project board instantly. It keeps your documentation clean. You spend your time fixing issues rather than manually filing tickets.

Setup guide

Set up MeisterTask 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

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.
