Can I check my API gateway metrics through the agent?

Yes. The `get_metrics` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve real-time traffic and latency data for any specific project ID, helping you monitor gateway performance directly through chat.

How do I create a new consumer identity for API key authentication?

You can use the `create_consumer` tool. Provide the project ID and a JSON payload with the consumer's details, and Zuplo will provision the new identity for your API gateway instantly.

Is it possible to see my project's configuration files via conversation?

Absolutely. Use the `list_project_files` tool to retrieve the declarative configuration files for your API project, allowing you to audit routing and policy definitions through your agent.

About Zuplo MCP Server

Connect your Zuplo account to any AI agent and manage your programmable API infrastructure through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Zuplo data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools — Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Project Management — List all Zuplo projects and API gateways in your account to monitor your integration landscape
Edge Deployments — Trigger new configuration deployments to the global edge network or audit previous deployment history
Consumer Governance — Create, manage, and revoke API key consumers to control who has access to your gateway authentication
Environment Auditing — List available project environments (e.g., working, production) and verify their current operational status
DNS & Domains — Retrieve and manage configured custom DNS domains for each of your API projects directly from your agent
Real-Time Metrics — Monitor gateway traffic, latency, and throughput metrics directly from Zuplo's edge analytics network
Declarative Config — Browse and list the configuration files that define your gateway's routing and policy logic

The Zuplo MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Zuplo + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Zuplo MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
