Team-wide Placetel access in VS Code

Commit your configuration to the repo via .vscode/mcp.json so every developer has the same tools. Everyone gets access to `list_users` and `list_groups` instantly. It ensures consistency across your engineering team. No more discrepancies caused by different local setup scripts.

Analyze calls with VS Code Copilot

Use `list_calls` to monitor system performance during development. Your agent can process the response to identify bottlenecks in your integration. It supports `list_call_detail_records` for deep dives into traffic logs. This gives your entire team the context they need to resolve issues faster.

Track devices and numbers

Inventory your infrastructure with `list_devices`. It brings clear, actionable data into your IDE environment. Query `list_numbers` to verify current assignments across your service. Your team can now manage these resources as code, directly from their primary editor.

Setup guide

Set up Placetel 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 Placetel 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Placetel tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Placetel transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
