Bring Rpa Monitoring
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Robolytix to VS Code Copilot and start using 10 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Robolytix MCP Server?
Connect your Robolytix account to any AI agent and take full control of your robotic process automation (RPA) analytics and performance orchestration through natural conversation. Robolytix provides a specialized platform for monitoring bot workflows and business process health, and this integration allows you to send sonar messages, track process runs, and manage automation metadata directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Process & Sonar Orchestration — Trigger process 'sonars' programmatically to track starts, common steps, and end-of-process events across your automation stack.
- Run Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor individual process runs and retrieve detailed metadata to ensure your bots are performing optimally directly from the AI interface.
- Performance & Error Intelligence — Log process errors and retrieve real-time status updates via natural language to maintain high-quality automation uptime.
- Process Discovery — List and search through your configured robotic processes to find the correct identifiers for orchestration.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity and manage sonar metadata using simple AI commands to ensure your RPA analytics are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Robolytix API Key from your account settings
3. Start managing your RPA performance from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual status checking or bot log hunting. Your AI acts as a dedicated RPA operations manager or performance analyst.
Who is this for?
- RPA Developers & DevOps — quickly retrieve process statuses and monitor bot health without switching dashboards.
- Automation Managers — automate the logging of process milestones and track run durations via natural conversation.
- Business Analysts — streamline the retrieval of process metadata and monitor organizational automation health directly within the chat.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Robolytix 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.
- —
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

Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the Robolytix MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically start a process run in Robolytix and track its common steps?
Yes! Use the sonar_start tool to initiate a run, and sonar_common for subsequent steps. Provide the processid and a unique runid, and your agent will log the milestones in your Robolytix dashboard instantly.
How do I find a processid for my automation?
Log in to the Robolytix dashboard, go to Settings > Processes, select your process, and the unique GUID will be displayed in the General tab.
What should I use as a runid?
The runid can be any unique string for that specific execution instance (e.g., a timestamp, a UUID, or an order number). Just ensure you use the same ID for all sonar messages belonging to that single run.
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.
