How to Use the Zenkit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I get Zenkit connection details using VS Code Copilot?

You use the listworkspaces tool. Since this config is committed to the repo, every developer gets immediate access to the full list of connected workspaces.

Q: Can we reliably read Zenkit data with VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Tools like listentries pull live API data that the agent injects into your code, giving you real-time context without needing to manually test endpoints.

Q: What if a field changes in Zenkit? Can I update my team's tools using VS Code Copilot?

You can use listelements to verify the current schema, and then use updateentry or createentry to manage data flow across your committed code base.

Q: If I need to verify all available lists in Zenkit using VS Code Copilot, what tool should I use?

Run listworkspaces. It provides a clean, comprehensive manifest of every workspace and the associated data structures that your team can access.

Perplexity

Audit and list all available workspaces.

The `list_workspaces` tool lets the whole team see every workspace configured in Zenkit. This visibility is crucial for onboarding new developers or managing cross-project dependencies. Copilot can use this data to automatically suggest which namespace your code should be targeting.

Maintain consistency via shared tools.

The `get_list_details` tool pulls specific metadata about a list. By committing the MCP config, every team member uses the same definition when reading or writing data. This standardized access prevents developers from making calls against outdated or incorrect list structures.

Batch read and process records.

Use `list_entries` to pull all items in a single Zenkit list. This capability is perfect for generating reports or running bulk data migrations across the team's codebase. The agent can then iterate over these results, letting you write complex processing logic that works reliably.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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