Team-wide gas auditing in VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to the repo and every developer on your team gets instant access. Use `get_carbon_monoxide` or `get_methane` to ensure everyone is testing against the same data. It keeps environmental checks consistent. No more 'works on my machine' issues when you're validating air quality scripts.

Spatial data integration for VS Code Copilot

Get precise environmental polygons with `get_geojson_emissions`. Your team can use this to standardize how they handle site-specific data in your shared codebase. It makes your environmental research tools more predictable. Every developer gets the same GeoJSON output for the same area, every time.

Efficient product enumeration in VS Code Copilot

Use `get_available_products` to show your team what sensors are active. From there, you can query `get_nitrogen_dioxide` or `get_ozone` to perform quick audits. It cuts down on communication overhead. Everyone knows exactly which gases are available for the current project scope.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
