Discovering Team Turso Infrastructure via MCP Server

To check the overall status, use `list_database_groups` to see all logical groups organizing database locations. This is critical for team-wide planning. Additionally, running `list_organizations` identifies every root organizational tenant in your shared codebase.

Standard Project Provisioning with MCP Server

`create_database` lets the Copilot Agent provision a new massively distributed Serverless SQLite database. The agent needs the organization slug, name, and target group for this operation. For consistency, check `get_database_details`. This tool provides deep architectural insights into any specific libSQL instance needed by the team.

Auditing Shared Credentials with MCP Server

To manage security across the whole repo, use `list_database_tokens` to view every active JWT Token. When necessary, call `rotate_database_tokens` to revoke all existing tokens for a database. This also includes using `create_database_token`, ensuring that new connections are properly authenticated and tracked.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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