Flatten nested JSON schemas in VS Code Copilot

The `transform_dot_object` tool maps deeply nested JSON objects into flat key-value pairs directly inside your VS Code Copilot chat window. Your engineering team can share standard configuration files and have the agent flatten them for quick debugging sessions. This eliminates the need for team members to write custom utility scripts for basic data mapping. The agent handles the flattening process instantly, keeping your codebase focused on core features.

Reconstruct production payloads with this MCP Server

Rebuilding nested API payloads from flat dictionaries is simple when your agent uses the `transform_dot_object` tool. VS Code Copilot can take flat database rows or CSV structures and expand them into nested JSON objects that match your production API schemas. By committing this configuration to your repository, every developer on your team gains access to the same transformation tools. This ensures consistent data formatting across different local environments.

Validate endpoint structures in VS Code Copilot

The `transform_dot_object` tool helps your team verify nested API structures by converting them back and forth with single-level dot keys. When debugging complex integrations, VS Code Copilot calls this tool to display the exact path of deeply nested variables. This visibility keeps your team from shipping broken integration code. The agent uses the tool's output to pinpoint exactly where a nested key mismatch is occurring in your payload.

Setup guide

Set up Dot Object Transformer 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 Dot Object Transformer 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 Dot Object Transformer tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Dot Object Transformer transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dot-object-transformer-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
