How to Use the SuperTokens MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does SuperTokens help standardize role management with VS Code Copilot?

By using createorupdaterole and assignroletouser, you commit the logic to .vscode/mcp.json. This guarantees every developer on the team uses the exact same, approved method for managing roles.

Q: What if I need to check user permissions across my team using SuperTokens and VS Code Copilot?

You can use listuserroles via your agent. This provides a quick, verifiable list of assigned roles for any target user ID, keeping everyone aligned on who has access.

Q: Can I automate signups and sessions with SuperTokens in VS Code Copilot?

Yes. The AI can chain commands: signupuser creates the record, followed by createsession, ensuring that your development environment always has a fresh, valid testing session.

Define and assign team roles.

Because the config is committed to the repo, every developer uses the same access rules. Use `create_or_update_role` to define a new role globally for everyone. Then, use `assign_role_to_user` to apply that definition instantly when onboarding a new team member. Need to audit current permissions? Running `list_roles` provides the canonical list of all roles available across every project branch.

Manage user lifecycles consistently.

Onboarding or offboarding doesn't require a manual checklist. Your Copilot agent can run `signup_user` and then, when the employee leaves, it runs `remove_session` followed by `delete_user_metadata`. This ensures data cleanup is consistent across the whole team. If a user changes their primary email or profile details, calling `update_user_metadata` keeps your shared codebase accurate with minimal friction.

Inspect and link user accounts.

When integrating third-party logins, you need to know if the user already exists. Use `get_user` to check for existing records by ID. If they are new, use `link_accounts` to tie their external identity into your core system's user profile. Developers can also run `list_user_roles` in Copilot Chat to quickly confirm if a specific user has the necessary permissions before committing code that relies on those rights.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "supertokens-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
