How to Use the MessageFlow MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the MessageFlow MCP Server configuration with our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root containing the server details. When your developers open the workspace, VS Code Copilot automatically loads the messaging tools.

Q: Does MessageFlow support WhatsApp template validation in VS Code Copilot?

Deploy shared communication tools across your VS Code team

`send_email` and `send_sms` integrate directly with your team's shared workspace config. By committing the MCP Server setup to your repository, every engineer on your team can test transactional notifications using Copilot. For chat-based communication, `send_whatsapp` allows developers to test message templates directly from the VS Code sidebar. This eliminates the need for individual team members to configure separate testing environments.

Inspect templates and channels in the VS Code Copilot Chat

`list_templates` and `get_template` pull your global communication layouts directly into Copilot Chat. Your developers can ask the agent to write code that references these templates without opening a browser to search for IDs. To check which routes are active, `list_channels` queries your current messaging configuration. The agent uses this data to write environment files that match your team's live deployment channels.

Monitor delivery pipelines and balances in VS Code

`get_delivery_status` lets your team debug dispatch issues without leaving the editor. Copilot queries this tool to retrieve real-time delivery logs, helping you diagnose routing errors during development. To keep your testing pipeline running, `get_account_balance` monitors your active API credits. This ensures your team is notified of low balances before it impacts your integration tests.

Setup guide

Set up MessageFlow 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.
