Connect Tolstoy MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Tolstoy to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Centralized Video Asset Management (MCP Server)
The `upload_video` tool lets your whole team manage content by uploading new videos directly through the repository's configuration. You can then use `list_videos` to verify the presence of every asset. Developers rely on `list_folders` to understand the required directory structure for video storage.
Review Funnel Status with VS Code Copilot
The team can check existing funnels by running `list_interactive_projects`. This provides a standardized view of all shoppable paths built in Tolstoy. Furthermore, using `get_video_analytics` gives everyone access to the performance metrics needed for QA testing.
Audit Webhook Connections with MCP Server
`list_webhooks` makes sure that all integrated systems are connected correctly. It lists every active webhook, preventing deployment errors across the organization. This tool complements `list_videos`, giving you both the source content list and the distribution mechanism.
