Perplexity

Team-wide MCP Server integration

Stop making every developer figure out the CKAN API documentation. You drop the MCP configuration into your repository, and VS Code Copilot instantly knows how to use `search_datasets`. Everyone on the team gets the exact same access to the regional data catalog. Exploring the available data happens right in the editor. Copilot uses `list_views` and `list_tags` to show your engineers exactly what they can build with. The agent handles the discovery phase automatically.

Inspect public data structures

Writing parsers for government data is tedious work. Now Copilot runs `show_columns` to inspect the actual view you want to use. It sees the exact types and writes the parsing logic for you. If an engineer needs to test an assumption, they just ask the agent. Copilot triggers `preview_data` to fetch real rows from the public repository. It uses those concrete examples to write better unit tests.

Execute advanced semantic queries

Handling ELI or DataCube ontologies requires specific domain knowledge. Copilot bridges that gap by using the `query_sparql` tool. It formats the syntax correctly and pulls the results directly into your workspace. Tracking the source of truth is straightforward. The agent hits `get_organization` to verify the publisher details. Then it runs `get_dataset` to pull the license and metadata straight into your project's README file.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Aragón Open Data MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository. Commit it to version control, and every developer on the project gets immediate access.

Yes, the agent maps your natural language questions to the correct API calls. It searches the catalog and returns the relevant endpoints.

You need version 1.96 or higher. Make sure you also switch Copilot Chat into Agent mode to allow tool execution.

The agent constructs the query based on your prompt. It sends the request through the secure endpoint and returns the raw data straight to your editor panel.

The server only touches public resources like EI2A ontologies and regional statistics. Vinkius routes the connection through a zero-trust, ephemeral environment. Your proprietary codebase is never exposed to the public data endpoint.
