Map farm boundaries via VS Code Copilot

`create_polygon` establishes the geographic limits of a field directly from your editor. You provide the GeoJSON coordinates to Copilot, and the MCP protocol registers the area for continuous API monitoring. Tracking multiple test farms requires zero context switching. Your agent runs `list_polygons` to check active zones, letting you verify state without opening a separate database client.

Pull current weather and UV data

`get_current_weather` fetches live temperature, humidity, and wind metrics for specific coordinates. The MCP Server drops this raw JSON right into your workspace so you can write parsing logic against real payloads. Solar radiation metrics work exactly the same way. Calling `get_current_uvi` returns the immediate ultraviolet index, giving your team accurate numbers to build localized sun exposure alerts.

Analyze historical crop performance

`get_accumulated_precipitation` calculates total rainfall over a specific time window. Copilot grabs these totals via the MCP integration to help you write accurate water stress models for your agronomy application. Temperature accumulation follows suit with `get_accumulated_temperature`. You get precise growing degree days delivered straight to your IDE, eliminating the need to manually scrape historical weather APIs.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Agro MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repository. Every developer who pulls the branch gets instant access to the server tools. It requires zero individual configuration.

Vinkius handles the underlying authentication. You just need your standard endpoint token in the configuration file. The agent passes this token automatically when invoking tools.

Yes, the update tool handles modifications to your registered areas. Just ask the agent to change the name or coordinates of a specific polygon ID. The changes reflect immediately across the team.

You probably requested a date range outside the available dataset. Satellite passes and soil sensors have specific coverage windows. Ask the agent to check the available imagery dates first.

The server fetches your vegetation indices through an isolated Vinkius sandbox. This zero-trust environment processes the API response and tears itself down immediately. Your field health metrics never sit on a shared disk.
