Distribute links across team devices in VS Code Copilot

The `send_push_notification` tool broadcasts URLs, documentation links, and small files directly to your team's registered hardware. VS Code Copilot invokes this tool to share stack traces or design assets without forcing everyone to open a messaging app. The agent checks `list_push_contacts` to target specific team members or coordinates with `list_connected_devices` to push to your own hardware. This keeps your team aligned during active debugging sessions.

Audit and clean up shared push histories

The `list_recent_pushes` tool indexes your shared push history so your team can retrieve links sent during previous sessions. VS Code Copilot reads this history to recover lost documentation or shared code snippets. To maintain hygiene, the agent uses `remove_push_record` to delete sensitive or outdated data from the shared stream. This keeps your team's feed clean and secure.

Track API health and connection status

The `get_api_status` tool monitors the connection quality and rate limits of your Pushbullet integration. VS Code Copilot uses this tool to verify that your automated deployment alerts won't get blocked by API limits. If credentials expire, the agent runs `test_pushbullet_auth` to pinpoint the authentication issue. This prevents silent failures in your team's notification pipelines.

Setup guide

Set up Pushbullet 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.
