How to Use the Mod.io MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I get mod terms and conditions before subscribing?

The getterms tool retrieves the required legal text and links for user consent. VS Code Copilot displays this information directly in your chat panel. This allows you to verify compliance before calling subscribemod.

Team-Wide Modding Workflows in VS Code Copilot

This Mod.io MCP Server integrates with your shared team workspace via `.vscode/mcp.json` to expose `get_games` and `get_mods` directly to your team. Every developer gets immediate access to these endpoints without manual local setup. VS Code Copilot coordinates these tools to let your team browse game directories and test mod integrations. The shared configuration ensures everyone works with the same API endpoints.

Automate Mod Testing and Subscriptions

The `subscribe_mod` and `unsubscribe_mod` tools allow your team to manage local test environments directly from Copilot Chat. Developers can join test groups and download specific mod files without leaving the editor. Copilot uses `get_my_subscriptions` to verify that the local environment matches the remote platform state. This eliminates manual verification steps during cross-play testing.

Manage Collections and Purchases

You can audit game monetization using `get_my_purchases` and `get_my_wallets` inside VS Code Copilot. The agent pulls your transaction history to verify entitlement systems during development. To group assets for testing, use `add_collection` and `get_collection_mods` to organize files. Copilot structures these lists so you can quickly build batch-download scripts.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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