Connect ONES MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect ONES to VS Code Copilot — we handle the hosting, security, and runtime updates so you don't have to. No server setup required.
Key Capabilities
Team-wide ONES integration in VS Code
Commit your server config to the repository to ensure every developer uses the same tool definitions. `list_workflows` provides a consistent view of project states for the whole engineering team. This eliminates configuration drift across local environments. Everyone works against the same project taxonomy defined by your R&D lead.
Agent-driven task management
Let Copilot Chat handle your project housekeeping by calling `create_task` or `update_task`. It allows your engineers to report progress without leaving their code editor. This increases velocity by removing the friction of manual ticket tracking. Your team stays in the flow while the server keeps the backlog current.
Deep context for R&D
Use `get_task_details` to pull requirements directly into your editor. You get the full picture of a bug or feature request without switching windows. This reduces errors caused by missing information. Your code is always built against the latest task definitions provided by the server.
