How to Use the Vultr MCP in VS Code Copilot

You commit the .vscode/mcp.json file to your repository. This makes the MCP Server available globally for every developer using Copilot in that project.

Team-Wide Resource Visibility via MCP Server

The entire engineering team uses the same tools. By committing the config to `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer instantly gets access to list resources using `list_bare_metals` or check available apps with `list_applications`. Everyone works off one set of defined, tested capabilities.

Automated Infrastructure Cleanup

When a project is finished, you can ensure nothing is left running. Use the agent to run `delete_bare_metal` and then follow up by deleting old keys with `list_api_keys`. The workflow stays consistent across all team members. This prevents forgotten cloud spend.

Standardized Networking Configuration

Setting network standards is easy when it's in the config. Developers can use tools like `set_bare_metal_ipv6_reverse` to apply consistent reverse DNS settings across all new projects, without needing manual tickets. This builds reliable infrastructure from day one.

Setup guide

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