How to Use the MintMCP MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot inspect our active security rules via MintMCP?

Yes, Copilot can call mintmcpgettoolpolicy to retrieve the active governance parameters. This helps the agent understand which commands are restricted before attempting execution.

Q: How does MintMCP handle multi-environment setups in VS Code Copilot?

It uses mintmcplistvirtualservers to let developers view and switch between functional tool groups. This allows Copilot to easily target staging or production environments securely.

Q: How do we revoke developer access?

Run mintmcprevokeaccesstoken to terminate the active OAuth session immediately. This blocks the developer's agent from making any further gateway calls.

Audit tool access directly in VS Code Copilot

`mintmcp_fetch_audit_logs` pulls SOC2 telemetry and execution records into your VS Code Copilot chat window. This allows engineering teams to track who executed which tool across the entire shared development environment. By committing the server configuration to your repository, every developer on the team can query these logs. It simplifies debugging and ensures compliance standards are met without requiring access to a separate web dashboard.

Cleanse parameters before running backend tools

`mintmcp_eval_guardrail` filters out PII and sensitive strings from your inputs before they reach downstream APIs. When your team uses Copilot to trigger backend actions, this security layer blocks unauthorized data exposure automatically. The tool works in tandem with `mintmcp_list_available_tools` to verify that only approved commands run. It prevents accidental executions of unlisted or risky actions during collaborative coding.

Execute gateway commands through a secure MCP Server

`mintmcp_run_tool_action` proxies all execution requests through a centralized gateway instead of letting Copilot call endpoints directly. This ensures that every API call made by your agent is authenticated, logged, and restricted to active permissions. If a session needs to be terminated, `mintmcp_revoke_access_token` cuts the connection instantly. This gives administrators total control over active developer sessions from a single endpoint.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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