How to Use the SketricGen MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I start debugging processes with SketricGen in VS Code Copilot?

You use the tracing tools. Calling listtraces shows a history of runs, and then using gettrace lets you pull up specific data points from a problematic execution.

Automate Team Workflows

Need to run a complex multi-step process? Commit the server setup and let your team use `run_workflow`. This centralizes how everyone executes critical business logic. For tasks tied to specific people, commit the ability to call `run_workflow_with_contact`, ensuring every developer works with the correct data set.

Centralize Data Access

The team can rely on a single source of truth. Use `list_contacts` and `get_contact` to pull standardized user details, making sure all agents operate off consistent data. Developers can also manage documentation by listing or retrieving specific knowledge bases using `list_knowledge_bases` and `get_knowledge_base`.

Track Execution Audits

When a workflow fails in production, you need proof. Use the MCP Server's tracing tools to list past runs (`list_traces`) or get granular details with `get_trace`. This is critical for debugging code deployed across the team. If you need to review what agents are available, use `list_agents`.

Setup guide

Set up SketricGen 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 SketricGen 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 SketricGen tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent SketricGen transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json
