Perplexity

Centralized web content capture.

Team members can access tools like `capture_png` and `render_sync` via a shared `.vscode/mcp.json`. This guarantees everyone on the team uses the same, reliable method for grabbing screenshots. The MCP Server makes sure that every developer has instant, consistent access to web data without needing individual setup.

Manage cloud infrastructure connections.

You can use `list_storage_buckets` and `list_webhooks` to let the team see all available endpoints. This is key for onboarding new developers quickly, since they don't have to learn an entirely separate system. The agent mode makes sure that these configuration details are always available when writing code.

Run non-blocking rendering jobs.

For large team projects, you need background tasks. The `render_async` tool handles long renders and sends results to a webhook later on. This keeps the Copilot Chat experience fast and responsive. It's way better than forcing everyone to wait for a single synchronous call.

Setup guide

Set up Urlbox 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

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.
