Sync advertiser data in VS Code Copilot

The `list_programmes` tool feeds your current advertiser relationships straight into your chat panel. Your team stops guessing which campaigns are active when building integration features. Copilot reads the live account status and writes the corresponding configuration files automatically. Expanding your catalog requires knowing what is out there. Running `list_available_programmes` pulls a fresh list of potential brand partners. The agent analyzes the categories and suggests which ones fit the e-commerce platform you are currently coding.

Build financial dashboards with live metrics

The `get_aggregated_report` tool gives your editor access to real commission totals and click metrics. Developers working on internal reporting tools can skip the dummy data phase entirely. Copilot uses yesterday's actual performance numbers to mock up the UI components. Debugging attribution issues takes specific data points. Triggering `list_transactions` fetches up to 31 days of individual sales records. Your AI client inspects the payload to help you write accurate parsing logic for incoming webhooks.

Automate affiliate links via MCP Server

The `generate_tracking_link` tool turns standard product URLs into monetized links without leaving the IDE. You paste a target page into the chat. The agent returns a properly formatted Awin link that you can drop directly into your seed data scripts. Surfacing discounts requires up-to-date voucher codes. Calling `list_promotions` grabs active deals for your joined programmes. Copilot reads the discount rules and writes the exact validation logic your checkout system needs to handle them.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Awin MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it to version control. Anyone who pulls the repo will automatically get access to the endpoints in their chat panel.

Yes. The agent can fetch aggregated performance data or individual sales records up to a 31-day limit. It uses this data to write accurate processing scripts.

Check your workspace configuration file. The get_account_check tool will fail if your API token is missing or if the environment variables are not loaded correctly in your terminal.

Not at all. The MCP standard handles all the authentication and request formatting automatically. You just ask the chat for the data, and it executes the correct endpoint call.

Your advertiser relationship lists and revenue metrics remain strictly isolated. Vinkius routes the requests through an ephemeral V8 sandbox that retains zero state. Team members only need the single endpoint token to execute queries safely.
