Automate status checks in VS Code

Stop asking for status updates in daily meetings. Use `list_updates` to pull team progress directly into your Copilot Chat window. It turns async check-ins into actionable data. Use `create_update` to post your own progress without breaking your flow.

Align the team on objectives

Keep your repo goals visible to every developer. Use `list_objectives` to ensure everyone is pulling in the same direction. It makes planning sessions much shorter. You can use `get_objective` to drill down into the details of any specific goal.

Track team activity in VS Code

See who is on your team and what they are working on. Use `list_teams` to browse groups and `get_team` to see the full member list. It simplifies coordination across large engineering orgs. You get the visibility you need without the overhead of manual tracking.

Setup guide

Set up Range MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Range MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Range tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Range transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
