Manage enterprise logistics and shipping workflows directly in VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect DHL MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect DHL 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.
Standardized logistics tools for VS Code Copilot teams
Commit your server configuration to the repo to ensure every engineer has access to `get_rates` and `track_shipment`. This keeps the whole team on the same page. Query shipping costs with `get_rates` to build accurate internal dashboards. You will see precise transit times and costs for every supported service level.
Automate shipping documentation in VS Code Copilot
Generate proforma invoices for your international test suites using `get_proforma_invoice`. It provides all necessary documentation for customs clearance. Use `create_shipment` to automate the label generation process in your CI/CD pipeline. Your agent handles the payload and returns the final document URL for your records.
Address verification as an MCP Server feature
Integrate `validate_address` into your user checkout flow to stop bad data entry. It suggests corrections so that your shipments reach the correct destination every time. Map out service centers with `find_locations` to help your ops team manage logistics. The tool returns detailed hours and service lists for each DHL facility.
