Standardize music data in VS Code

Commit your `mcp.json` file to your repository to give every developer on your team access to the same music tools. Use `search_tracks` to keep your team's data consistent. It eliminates the 'it works on my machine' problem. Everyone uses the same endpoints and data structures for their development work.

Fetch chart data in VS Code

Pull global music charts into your Copilot Chat using `get_chart_artists`. This allows your team to build features based on real-time industry trends. It brings external data directly into the editor. You spend less time managing API connections and more time writing features.

Validate music works in VS Code

Use `post_work` and `post_work_validity` to manage publishing data within your IDE. It provides a direct interface for submitting or updating metadata for musical works. This keeps your data management tasks within the development environment. You handle complex updates without leaving your coding workspace.

Setup guide

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