How to Use the Wistia MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does VS Code Copilot connect to Wistia assets?

The configuration is managed via the .vscode/mcp.json file, which gets committed to the repository. This means every developer on the team automatically has access to the Wistia tools.

Q: If we delete a large Wistia project using VS Code Copilot, what's the risk?

The deletewistiaproject tool is irreversible and deletes all videos. Since it's team-wide accessible, ensure that anyone running this knows exactly which project they are targeting.

Standardize Wistia asset management for the whole team using VS Code Copilot and MCP Server.

Team-Wide Video Analytics Access

Instead of asking every developer individually, commit the `mcp.json` config to your repo. Now, any teammate can access `get_engagement_statistics` within Copilot Chat's Agent mode. Everyone gets instant visibility into Wistia performance metrics. This standardizes how your team pulls live data without needing individual setup.

Code-Based Asset Management

The team can write functions that programmatically manage assets. Use `get_project_details` to retrieve all info for a project, then use the returned list to call `update_media_metadata` on specific video names. It brings Wistia's content management into your existing engineering workflow.

Structured Upload and Organization

When rolling out new features, developers can write code to call `upload_video_via_url`, ensuring every new video follows the correct process. They also use `create_new_project` to guarantee a clean folder structure for all team members. It keeps your Wistia content organized from day one.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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