Triage Missive threads inside VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server lets VS Code Copilot fetch threads with `list_conversations` and inspect messages using `list_messages`. This keeps your developers close to user issues. They can track incoming bug reports and update thread statuses without breaking their coding focus.

Coordinate team tasks from the editor

The `create_post` tool lets VS Code Copilot leave internal comments, assign owners, or close out threads. It keeps your development and support teams perfectly aligned on customer issues. It can also check who is handling a thread via `get_conversation`. This prevents double-work and keeps your developers aligned with the support team.

Draft technical replies with VS Code Copilot

The `create_draft` tool lets your agent draft complex technical replies to customer queries directly from your workspace. Once you approve the text, the `send_draft` tool delivers it to the customer. The agent pulls context from your workspace files to explain technical fixes clearly. It saves the draft directly in your shared folder for final team review.

Setup guide

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