Sync Northbeam tools across VS Code Copilot

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo so every developer on your team has the same access. Use `list_metrics` to debug performance issues together. Standardizing your tools prevents configuration drift. Your team works from a single source of truth for all attribution data.

Monitor marketing exports in VS Code Copilot

Keep tabs on your scheduled exports by using `list_scheduled_exports` inside your editor. Your team can verify that data pipelines are running as expected. If an export fails, you catch it in your IDE. You don't need to wait for a notification from a different system.

Query attribution logic in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_attribution_models` to check how your team tracks conversions. Your agent confirms if you are using Clicks or Modeled data before you start coding. This keeps your team aligned on data methodology. You avoid building features on top of incorrect attribution assumptions.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Northbeam MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit the server configuration to your project's .vscode/mcp.json file. Everyone who pulls the code gets the same set of tools.

The server runs as an ephemeral, isolated process. It never logs your data, and your authentication tokens are managed securely through Vinkius.

No. It only reads marketing attribution data from the Northbeam API. It cannot see or touch your internal application databases.

Because the config is committed to Git, your team can see exactly what tools are available and how they are configured for the repo.

Your credentials are used only to establish the connection via the Vinkius gateway. They are never stored in your local files or Git history.
