How to Use the Dataiku DSS MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I configure Dataiku DSS for VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace root. Add the server details and commit the file to your repository. This ensures every developer on your team has access to the same tools.

Q: How do I check model performance using this MCP Server?

Ask your agent to evaluate a specific model. It will run listmodels to locate it, followed by getmodel to pull the algorithm details and performance metrics.

Give VS Code Copilot an MCP Server for Dataiku DSS to share project schemas and model metadata.

Team-wide Dataiku DSS access in VS Code

Engineering teams waste hours passing around schema definitions. By configuring this MCP Server in your repository, everyone gets the same live context. Copilot reads your shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file and connects immediately. When a developer asks about a table, the agent runs `list_projects` and `dataset_schema`. It pulls the exact column definitions directly into the IDE. Nobody has to hunt down the data engineering team just to write a simple query.

Track DSS pipeline status via Copilot

Keeping an eye on training runs shouldn't require breaking your focus. You just ask Copilot for the latest build status. The agent uses `list_jobs` to find active tasks. If something looks wrong, Copilot calls `get_job` to fetch the specific timing data and output logs. You can also check which extensions are active by having the agent run `list_plugins`, ensuring your local environment matches the production server.

Execute scenarios as an MCP Server tool

Testing your code often requires fresh data or an updated model. Instead of switching to the browser to click a button, you tell Copilot to run the update. The agent checks `list_scenarios` to find the right automation script. Once identified, Copilot triggers `run_scenario`. The build kicks off in the background while you keep writing code. You get the result without ever leaving your editor window.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Dataiku DSS MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your workspace root. Add the server details and commit the file to your repository. This ensures every developer on your team has access to the same tools.

You must run VS Code version 1.96 or higher. You also need to switch your Copilot Chat into Agent mode to allow it to execute external tools.

No. The tools provide read-only access to configurations. Your agent can use `get_recipe` to read the settings, but it cannot overwrite or modify the recipe logic.

Ask your agent to evaluate a specific model. It will run `list_models` to locate it, followed by `get_model` to pull the algorithm details and performance metrics.

Your agent only retrieves architectural details like dataset schemas, plugin lists, and job states. The ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox drops all state after execution. Your actual customer data and proprietary records never enter the chat context.
