What is the vCard Contacts Parser MCP Server?
When you export your phone's address book, you get a massive .vcf file containing hundreds of contacts formatted in the legacy BEGIN:VCARD structure, often bloated with base64-encoded profile pictures. If you ask an LLM to read this raw file, it will exhaust its context window and hallucinate phone numbers and emails.
This MCP is a dedicated contact intelligence engine. It runs 100% local on your machine, instantly stripping away the binary noise and converting the raw vCard format into a beautiful, easily queryable JSON array. The AI sees exactly what it needs: First Name, Last Name, Organization, Phone, and Email.
The Superpowers
- 100% Air-Gapped Privacy: Your personal phonebook never leaves your local machine.
- Zero Hallucination: Perfect extraction of country codes, emails, and company roles.
- Massive File Support: Can instantly process a VCF file containing 5,000+ contacts.
- Assistant Ready: Ask your AI: 'Find the phone number for the CTO of Vinkius in my contacts.'
Built-in capabilities (1)
Paste the raw text content from the "My Clippings.txt" file found on a Kindle device. Parse Amazon Kindle "My Clippings.txt" exports into structured JSON. Extracts highlights, notes, and bookmarks grouped by book
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings vCard Contacts Parser data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 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
vCard Contacts Parser for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the vCard Contacts Parser MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Is my address book uploaded to the cloud?
Never. The vCard parsing is executed completely local on your device. Only the extracted text representation is provided to the AI context.
Does it support multiple contacts in a single file?
Yes! It perfectly parses multi-vCard files exported from iOS, Google Contacts, or Android devices, handling thousands of entries seamlessly.
What happens to the contact profile pictures?
Profile pictures (PHOTO;ENCODING=b) are intentionally ignored and stripped during parsing to preserve AI context tokens and prevent crashes.
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.
