Team-Wide Voice Agent Execution

Copilot initiates outbound phone conversations directly from your editor by invoking `trigger_call`. You pass the target phone number and objective, and the agent handles the API request while you stay focused on your codebase. Managing the actual voice bots requires checking their configurations. Your AI client retrieves the catalog of active bots through `list_interviews` and pulls the detailed setup of a specific bot using `get_interview`.

Thoughtly MCP Server History Sync

Investigating telephony bugs is faster when you pull raw call logs straight into your terminal using `list_calls`. Copilot reads the traffic history and helps identify failed routing logic. When a specific conversation drops, `get_call_history` grabs the complete text transcript so you can see exactly where the bot failed. To ensure you are querying the correct account, run `get_user` to verify your workspace identity.

Direct CRM Manipulation

Setting up test environments often requires injecting fresh leads, which you do by having Copilot execute `create_contact`. If a test profile needs a new phone number, the agent applies the fix via `update_contact`. You can review the entire address book by running `list_contacts` to see every stored lead. Validating a specific entry takes one command with `get_contact`, and wiping out test data is just as fast using `delete_contact`.

Setup guide

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