Standardize team mock data with this MCP Server

Keep your entire development team on the same page. By committing the server config to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot gets instant access to tools like `list_products` and `list_users`. Developers can prototype features without arguing over mock data structures. Your agent uses `get_product` to fetch uniform JSON schemas that keep everyone's local codebases consistent.

Simulate user workflows and task management

This MCP server lets your VS Code Copilot agent retrieve mock lists using `list_todos` or grab a random task with `get_random_todo`. You can also test state changes by calling `update_todo` or `delete_todo`. This lets you verify how your task list UI updates when items are marked complete or removed.

Retrieve curated recipes and food data

If you are building a food or lifestyle app, writing mock recipes is tedious. Your agent can query the database using `list_recipes` or filter down using `get_recipes_by_tag`. It can also retrieve specific meal categories with `get_recipes_by_meal_type` or grab a single detail page using `get_recipe`. This gives your team realistic culinary data for layout testing.

Setup guide

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

No, you don't. This server communicates directly with the public mock API, meaning your team gets instant, zero-maintenance data access without setting up any local database engines.

The MCP server only shares mock parameters—like a recipe tag or a user ID—with the public mock endpoints. Your actual workspace code, proprietary business logic, and git history remain strictly inside your secure local editor environment.
