Verify Organization Metadata

Start by calling `get_organization_details` to fetch the full details for a WorkOS account. This data populates context directly into your files, letting the entire team reference core business identifiers. It's straightforward: you get the necessary information about billing and domains without leaving VS Code.

List All Directory Sync Sources

To check data sources, use `list_directories`. This tool returns a list of every active directory sync instance in the environment. Your team can then iterate over this list to test connectivity across all required endpoints. If you need specifics on a single source, follow up with `get_directory_details`.

Retrieve User and Group Lists

Need user data for an API endpoint? The tool provides `list_directory_users`, giving your team a comprehensive list of all synced accounts. You can write code that processes these lists directly into JSON structures. Similarly, use `list_directory_groups` to pull membership rosters, which is perfect when developing access control logic.

Setup guide

Set up WorkOS 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.

Verify the connection

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