Perplexity

Enforce logical rigor with this MCP Server in VS Code

The `validate_archimedes_first_principles` tool brings strict engineering standards to your shared editor workspace. When team members ask Copilot to design a service, the tool demands a step-by-step derivation of the logic. This team-wide check prevents junior developers from committing code based on shaky tutorials. Every architectural decision gets vetted against hard constraints before implementation.

Deconstruct complex monoliths in VS Code Copilot

The `validate_archimedes_first_principles` tool breaks massive system designs into irreducible, independent components. Instead of letting Copilot treat a complex service as a single block, the tool maps how every part interacts. This decomposition ensures that each microservice or module is analyzed on its own merits. You avoid tight coupling and hidden dependencies in your shared repository.

Eliminate proof gaps in Copilot suggestions

Use the `validate_archimedes_first_principles` tool to purge hand-waving assertions from your team's chat logs. When Copilot claims a design is 'obviously' better, the tool flags the gap and demands a structured proof. Your team gets clear, mathematical justifications for architectural changes instead of relying on AI-generated intuition. This keeps the codebase highly defensible.

Setup guide

Set up Archimedes First Principles Prover 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 Archimedes First Principles Prover 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 Archimedes First Principles Prover tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Archimedes First Principles Prover transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
