Share media tools across the team

Commit your mcp.json file to the repo to ensure every developer has access to the same Meltwater tools. This keeps the whole team on the same page when building media-aware features. Everyone uses `list_media_sources` to verify they are pulling from the same data set. It eliminates configuration drift across local environments.

Build team-wide reporting tools

Use `list_content_exports` to manage shared data files for your team. You can write scripts that auto-fetch these exports for your internal dashboards. The agent uses `get_media_insights` to generate summaries for the entire team. This gives everyone a consistent view of brand performance without manual effort.

Query organizational metrics in VS Code Copilot

The `list_saved_searches` tool lets your team execute standard PR queries from within the IDE. It makes media data a first-class citizen in your development workflow. Your agent can also use `list_tags` to filter data based on team-defined categories. This keeps your reporting logic aligned with your organizational PR goals.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Meltwater MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server configuration to your repository's .vscode/mcp.json file. This allows everyone on the team to use the tools once they open the project.

Yes, once configured in the shared file, all developers have access to the same toolset. They just need to authenticate with their own API credentials.

Use environment variables on each developer's machine. This prevents sensitive API tokens from being committed to your shared repository.

The server logs requests to your local output console. You can review these logs to see which tools like `search_content` are being used.

The server only transmits data between your IDE and the API. No mention text or metadata is stored by the server, protecting your internal PR data.
