Sync Nifty across your VS Code Copilot team

Shared configurations mean every developer sees the same project view. Your team uses `list_organization_portfolios` to stay aligned on high-level goals from within the editor. It removes the friction of manual reporting. Everyone gets access to the same `list_active_projects` data, ensuring no one misses a critical update.

Manage tasks directly in VS Code Copilot

Create new work without leaving your IDE. Use `create_new_task` or `create_project_milestone` to capture ideas while you are in the flow. Everything you create is saved to your workspace immediately. It keeps your development and project management in one place, which prevents context switching.

Monitor status in VS Code Copilot

Keep your project health in check. Use `get_api_status` to ensure your connection is solid and `get_task_info` to pull details for any specific ticket. This visibility helps your team identify blockers early. You can address issues as they arise, keeping your development cycle moving forward.

Setup guide

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