Perplexity

Share logistics tools across your team

Onboarding engineers to a new logistics API is a massive headache. You drop the MCP configuration into your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, commit it, and everyone gets access instantly. A junior dev can open Copilot Chat and ask for a specific merchant's info. The AI runs `get_shop_detail` and returns the exact operating hours and coordinates. Nobody has to hunt down API keys or read outdated wikis.

Dispatch couriers via MCP Server

Sometimes you need to trigger a test delivery without writing a throwaway script. You tell your chat window to send a package, and it executes `create_order` right there. If the test goes wrong, you don't panic. The agent fires `cancel_order` to abort the dispatch. Your engineers stay in their flow without opening a browser tab to fix mistakes.

Query cities and delivery fees dynamically

Hardcoding delivery zones is a terrible idea. When an engineer needs to know if a specific region is active, Copilot triggers `list_supported_cities` to get the live map. The same applies to pricing logic. Instead of guessing the base rate, the AI uses `query_delivery_fee` to pull real numbers based on weight and distance. It then builds your pricing functions around actual data.

Setup guide

Set up Dada Now / 达达 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 Dada Now / 达达 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 Dada Now / 达达 tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Dada Now / 达达 transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about Dada Now / 达达 MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server settings to a workspace-level mcp.json file. Push that file to your Git repository. Every developer pulling the repo instantly gets access to the delivery tools in their chat.

It certainly can. You paste the order ID into the chat and tell the agent to kill it. The system executes the cancellation endpoint immediately.

Yes, you must run version 1.96 or higher. Older builds lack the native protocol support required to route these tool calls properly.

Speed and context. Your agent reads the current file, understands the variables, and maps them straight into the API payload. You skip the boilerplate entirely.

Security is handled through strict ephemeral isolation. When your team queries merchant metadata or dispatches test packages, Vinkius processes it in a temporary V8 sandbox. The environment is destroyed instantly, leaving zero residual data behind.
