Perplexity

Centralize Instructor Feedback via MCP Server

By committing `mcp.json` to your repo, every developer gets access to the `instructor_reviews` tool automatically. The entire team can analyze feedback across all Udemy courses. This makes quality assurance repeatable and predictable for everyone working on the project.

Query Course Details Across Teams

Developers use the `courses` function to fetch specific details using a course ID. This ensures that every team member uses the exact same, current data source. It's consistent. You don't have to worry about individual setup issues.

Build Tools Using Instructor Content

You can use `instructor_qa` and `instructor_messages` within your team’s codebase. This lets the entire group build features that process real-world user questions or communications. The shared MCP Server makes this data available everywhere, from onboarding to deployment.

Setup guide

Set up Udemy 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 Udemy MCP

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.

Verify the connection

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