How to Use the EOSDA MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot analyze vegetation indexes from EOSDA?

Yes, the getvegetationindex tool calculates stats for NDVI, EVI, and 15 other indices. Your VS Code Copilot agent uses these metrics to write logic for crop health monitoring.

Q: How do we fetch historical weather data using EOSDA and VS Code Copilot?

You call getweatherdata to retrieve over 1800 weather parameters dating back to 1979. Copilot writes data science scripts to analyze temperature and precipitation patterns for your registered fields.

Q: What satellite imagery metadata can we retrieve?

The getsatelliteimagery tool returns cloud cover percentages, band availability, and download links. This allows your team to programmatically filter out cloudy scenes before processing crop images.

Equip your team in VS Code Copilot with this EOSDA MCP Server for live satellite imagery, zoning maps, and weather data.

Deploy this MCP Server to VS Code Copilot

`create_field` lets your development team register new EOSDA agricultural boundaries directly from VS Code Copilot. Committing the configuration to your repo allows everyone on the team to access the same EOSDA tools via VS Code Copilot. This MCP Server connection ensures that your VS Code Copilot agent can query active acreage profiles instantly. It speeds up the development of custom farm management software in VS Code Copilot by providing direct access to live EOSDA databases.

Query real-time soil and weather data

`get_soil_moisture` retrieves surface and deep-soil water content from EOSDA to help your team build smart irrigation scheduling features inside VS Code Copilot. VS Code Copilot writes code that matches these moisture levels against real-time agricultural conditions. Integrating `get_weather_forecast` allows your VS Code Copilot agent to construct 15-day crop protection models. Your code in VS Code Copilot can automatically flag upcoming frost events or heavy rainfall risks using actual EOSDA coordinates.

Generate zoning maps for variable rate application

`get_zoning_map` outputs precise management zones from EOSDA to help you write targeted fertilization algorithms in VS Code Copilot. VS Code Copilot uses this data to write logic that calculates targeted nitrogen and fertilizer application rates. To visualize these zones, `render_index_map` generates color-coded raster images of your EOSDA field boundaries inside VS Code Copilot. Your team can embed these visual maps directly into web dashboards using code generated by VS Code Copilot.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
