Perplexity

Team visibility on detections

Need to review the current threat landscape without leaving your IDE? The team config commits an MCP Server that allows all developers to run `list_recent_detections`. This means everyone sees the same, up-to-date security context. This is critical for SOC teams. You can then follow up by calling `get_alert_details` to get specific information on a flagged incident.

Shared endpoint auditing

The team needs to audit assets? Use the shared MCP Server configuration to run `list_managed_endpoints`. Every developer sees the same inventory list. You can then use that list to scope your code when running `list_endpoint_activity_logs`. This centralized approach makes compliance checks predictable and repeatable across the entire organization.

Centralized threat intelligence

When a new indicator of compromise comes in, you can quickly list suspicious objects using `list_suspicious_objects`. This single tool provides URLs, IPs, and files flagged by Trend Micro's intelligence. Because this is committed to the repo, every developer instantly has access to the latest threat data for use in their code.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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