How to Use the Wrike MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does Wrike integration work with VS Code Copilot?

The team configures the MCP Server via a shared .vscode/mcp.json. This allows every developer on the engineering team to automatically access and use Wrike's tools within their editor chat.

Q: Can I use Wrike tools with VS Code Copilot for compliance checks?

Yes. By using listtasks and checking task statuses, your code can identify any tasks that are overdue or stuck in a 'Deferred' state, helping maintain audit trails.

Perplexity

Enforce standards by querying Wrike data across teams.

`list_tasks` lets your whole team filter tasks based on status (Active, Completed, etc.). This means every developer working on the repository sees a consistent view of project progress. Need to know who owns what? Use `get_user_profile` alongside `list_team_members`. The resulting data is committed to the shared understanding within your codebase.

Build robust project scaffolding using the MCP Server.

`create_folder` handles setting up the necessary project structure. Following that, you can call `list_custom_workflows` so developers know exactly what process steps are required for new projects. You can also run `list_folders_and_projects` to programmatically map out a client's entire workspace when onboarding new team members.

Automate task updates and logging via the MCP Server.

`add_task_comment` allows your code to automatically log status changes or notes directly onto the relevant Wrike task. This keeps historical context right where it belongs. If a requirement changes, you use `update_task`. The Copilot Chat agent executes this change and then updates related documentation in your project files.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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