Bring Gdpr
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Dastra to VS Code Copilot and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Dastra MCP Server?
Connect your Dastra account to any AI agent and take full control of your data privacy and GDPR/LGPD compliance workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- DSR Orchestration — Manage the full lifecycle of Data Subject Requests (DSR) programmatically, from creation and status tracking to high-fidelity resolution and archiving
- Breach & Incident Tracking — Programmatically document and track security incidents and data breaches to maintain a perfectly coordinated regulatory response
- ROPA & Asset Intelligence — Access your Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) and documented datasets to oversee data flow and classification across workspaces
- Compliance Architecture — Retrieve complete directories of actors (controllers, processors), tags, and processing activities to maintain a high-fidelity privacy registry
- Workspace Visibility — List and manage multiple workspaces programmatically to coordinate privacy operations across different business units directly through your agent
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Access Token from your Dastra user profile (API Access)
3. Start managing your compliance registry and privacy requests from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual record logging or digging through complex compliance tables in the portal. Your AI acts as your dedicated DPO and compliance coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Data Protection Officers (DPOs) — instantly retrieve ROPA summaries and check DSR statuses using natural language commands
- Compliance Teams — automate the documentation of security incidents and monitor dataset classifications without leaving your workspace
- Developers & Ops — integrate automated privacy right handling and data mapping into custom internal tools through simple AI queries

VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Dastra Access Token?
Log in to Dastra, click your profile icon, navigate to API Access, and generate a new Access Token for your account.
What is a DSR request?
Data Subject Requests are exercises of privacy rights (Access, Erasure, etc.) submitted by individuals under data protection laws.
Can I manage multiple workspaces?
Yes! Use the list_workspaces tool to identify your workspace IDs, then use them as parameters in other tools like list_dsr or list_breaches.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
