How to Use the Cloverly MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team share the Cloverly configuration in VS Code Copilot?

You can commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your Git repository with the Cloverly settings. Every developer on your team who uses VS Code Copilot will automatically gain access to the carbon tools.

Q: Can we build automated tests using Cloverly and VS Code Copilot?

Yes, Copilot can write test suites that call createestimate and mock the response payloads. This ensures your shipping and checkout flows calculate carbon metrics correctly during continuous integration.

Q: How do we check our credentials using Cloverly in VS Code Copilot?

You can run checkcloverlystatus inside the Copilot chat pane to verify your connection. This tool checks your API key permissions and ensures the editor can reach the Cloverly servers.

Q: Can we query historical environmental impact data?

Yes, the getimpactsummary tool aggregates your company's total offset history directly into the chat window. Copilot can format this data into markdown tables for easy copy-pasting into team wiki pages.

Embed carbon offsetting directly into your team's VS Code Copilot development workflows.

Calculate shipping emissions inside VS Code Copilot

The `create_estimate` tool determines the CO2 emissions for logistics, transport, and product purchases directly from your code workspace. Copilot reads your application's data structures and uses this tool to verify carbon calculation accuracy before you commit code. The agent uses `list_estimates` to query recent calculations and build automated test suites. This ensures your environmental impact calculations remain consistent across your team's shared codebase.

Connect to the Cloverly MCP Server for team-wide offsets

The `create_purchase` tool registers carbon offset purchases directly from Copilot's chat interface. By checking in a shared MCP configuration, your entire engineering team can run integration tests against the live registry without individual setup hurdles. The agent calls `list_purchases` to verify that your testing environment is recording transactions correctly. This keeps your team aligned on how offset purchases are logged in your backend databases.

Audit verified registry projects from the editor

The `list_projects` tool fetches active, verified carbon reduction projects directly into VS Code. Copilot uses this data to write database seed scripts containing real project IDs, geographic coordinates, and registry details. You can also run `get_project` to inspect specific project certifications during code reviews. This helps developers verify that the project data models in their code match Cloverly's actual API structure.

Setup guide

Set up Cloverly MCP in VS Code Copilot
