Shared MCP Server Configuration

Teams building travel platforms need consistent testing data. You commit the `.vscode/mcp.json` file once, and every developer gets access to the `get_flight_schedule` tool automatically. Your entire organization queries the exact same departure times, aircraft types, and service classes. You don't waste time writing local mock servers or sharing outdated JSON dumps.

Live Flight Status in VS Code Copilot

Building a notification system requires actual delay data to test edge cases. This MCP tool fetches real-time arrival updates via `get_flight_status` for any specific flight number and date. You ask the agent to generate a parser for delayed flights. It grabs a live delayed flight payload and writes the exact TypeScript interface you need to handle that specific response.

Access Terminal Layouts

Using this MCP integration for mapping features means you need accurate facility data. The `get_airport_info` tool retrieves terminal layouts and amenity locations for major hubs directly into your editor. Your AI client reads the layout data and helps you structure your database schema. You base your models on real aviation infrastructure instead of guessing how a terminal is organized.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about American Airlines MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the configuration to your repository's shared mcp.json file. Once committed, every developer on the project can query flights and schedules.

Switch your chat to Agent mode and provide a flight number. The editor pulls the live status and uses that payload to help you write code.

No. Vinkius handles the underlying authentication. Your team just needs the single endpoint token defined in your workspace settings.

Ask the agent for information on a specific hub. It calls the airport info tool and returns the layout details straight to your chat panel.

Completely. The server only processes the specific flight numbers, dates, and airport codes you explicitly send it. The connection relies on strict SOC 2 compliant protocols, and no source code ever leaves your machine.
