Standardize Order Lookups for Your Team

Add this MCP server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it. Now every developer on your team has the same tools. Anyone can highlight an order ID in their code, open Copilot chat, and ask, "get the details for this order" using the `get_order_details` tool. No more passing around credentials or logging into the DCL portal. The tools are just there, part of the editor. Use `search_orders_by_keyword` to find records by customer name, ensuring your whole team can support fulfillment issues directly from VS Code.

Shared Access to Live Inventory Data

This server gives your team a single, consistent way to check DCL warehouse inventory. The `get_sku_inventory_status` tool provides on-hand and available counts for any SKU. Because it's a shared configuration, everyone gets the same real-time data. Your team can build reliable internal dashboards and scripts. With the `list_low_stock_items` tool, any dev can ask Copilot, "are we low on SKU 'REDBOX-V2'?" and get an immediate, accurate answer without leaving their workflow. It removes the guesswork from inventory management.

A Team-Ready DCL Logistics MCP Server

Managing logistics is a team sport. This DCL Logistics MCP Server makes sure everyone is on the same page. The `get_shipment_details` tool lets any engineer track a package, while `list_customer_returns` provides a view into incoming RMAs. When the whole team has access, problems get solved faster. A developer working on the returns page can ask Copilot to "list all pending RMAs" and get live data to test with. It's a shared utility, managed centrally and available to everyone in your company's IDE.

Setup guide

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

Yes. Once configured, any developer can ask Copilot, "list recent RMAs from DCL Logistics." The agent uses the `list_customer_returns` tool to pull the data directly into VS Code.

Your Vinkius MCP Server configuration is managed centrally. You update the API key once in your Vinkius account, and it's immediately active for all users on your team. No one needs to update their local settings.

Yes. This is an MCP server, not an extension. It defines a set of actions your AI agent (Copilot) can perform, but it doesn't add any UI or buttons to VS Code itself. The interaction happens entirely through the Copilot chat.

The server accesses your DCL order, shipment, inventory, and customer return data. Vinkius handles authentication, so your DCL credentials are encrypted and isolated. The server environment that processes your data is ephemeral and destroyed after each use.
