Connect commercetools MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect commercetools to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
VS Code team access to commercetools
Commit your `mcp.json` to the repo to give every developer the same tools. Everyone uses `list_products` to keep their local environment in sync with the store. Standardizing your tools prevents configuration drift. Team members get immediate access to the same methods for fetching customer or order data.
Streamline commercetools workflows in VS Code
Automate routine tasks like checking order status. Use `search_orders_by_number` to verify details for support tickets without opening the admin dashboard. This keeps you focused on the code. You get the specific data you need from the commercetools API directly in your Copilot chat panel.
Inspect commercetools configurations in VS Code
Verify your project settings with `get_project_settings`. It helps your team confirm they are targeting the correct environment before running migrations. You can also pull category trees using `list_categories`. It makes building navigation components much faster when you can see the actual hierarchy.
