Get Build Details via Copilot Chat

Need to confirm a build's outcome? Call `get_build_details` right from your team’s shared configuration. The tool retrieves the full status report for any specific Travis CI job. It lets developers write code that assumes a successful run, knowing they can check the actual status via this MCP Server.

Check All Repositories

Before starting work on a new feature, use `list_travis_repositories` to see every repo configured for Travis CI. Copilot Chat can interpret that list and help you figure out which repository slug is needed for the next step.

Restart Failed Builds

If a build fails overnight, don't wait. You just call `restart_travis_build` with the required build ID. The system automatically re-runs the job on Travis CI. This capability saves time by letting your team quickly recover from transient failures.

Setup guide

Set up Travis CI 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 Travis CI 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.

Switch to Agent mode

Verify the connection

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