Bring Workflow Automation
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect SketricGen to VS Code Copilot and start using 18 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the SketricGen MCP Server?
Empower your AI agents to securely orchestrate complex workflows using the SketricGen platform. With 18 dedicated tools, your AI can now programmatically trigger multi-agent tasks, inject relevant contacts into context, construct searchable knowledge bases, and granularly inspect execution traces.
What you can do
- Execute complex multi-agent workflows programmatically
- Create and query vector-searchable knowledge bases
- Debug executions with full tracing capabilities
- Track tool calls and credit consumption per run
- Access and manage CRM-style contact profiles
- Maintain distinct conversation histories

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings SketricGen data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 18 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

How Vinkius secures
SketricGen for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the SketricGen MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can my AI analyze the execution steps of a specific workflow?
Simply use the debug_workflow_trace tool. Your agent will instantly retrieve the execution trace, detailing every tool call, data transfer between agents, and total credit consumption per run.
Is it possible to programmatically manage and query documents for my agents?
Yes. By executing the manage_knowledge_base action, your AI agent can upload files (PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML) or search existing repositories to provide context-aware, highly accurate responses.
Can I automatically trigger workflows tied to specific customer records?
Absolutely. Ask the agent to use the run_workflow_for_contact tool. It will execute the designated workflow while injecting the specific contact's history, enabling personalized, data-driven outputs.
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.
