Share Live Data Across Your Team

The `list_cin7_products` tool gives every developer on your team a direct line to your product catalog. By adding this MCP server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file, anyone who pulls the repo can ask Copilot, "List our current products from Cin7 Omni." This shared context is a big deal. It means everyone on the team is working with the same live data for products, contacts (`list_cin7_contacts`), and orders. No more stale data or questions about what's current.

Build Internal Tools Faster

Use the `list_purchase_orders` tool to quickly build internal dashboards or alerts right in VS Code. Tell Copilot Chat, "Get all open purchase orders from Cin7 Omni and display them in a Markdown table." It calls the MCP tool and generates the output instantly. This works for sales data, too. You can use `list_sales_orders` to get a snapshot of recent activity. It’s a fast way for developers to check on system behavior or debug issues related to order processing without leaving their editor.

Debug with Live Cin7 Omni Data

The `get_sales_order_details` tool lets you pull specific order information into VS Code for debugging. If there's an issue with an order, you can ask Copilot to fetch the data for that order ID. You get the real-time status and details without having to check another system. The same goes for inventory problems. Use `get_sku_stock_level` to check a product's stock count directly from the editor. This gives developers immediate context when troubleshooting inventory syncs or front-end display errors.

Setup guide

Set up Cin7 Omni 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 Cin7 Omni 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.

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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Cin7 Omni tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Cin7 Omni transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
