How to Use the FedEx MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can we test FedEx label generation inside VS Code Copilot?

Yes, createshipment lets your agent call the label generation API directly. This lets you inspect the raw payload and output format during development.

Q: How do we locate drop-off points for testing?

Use findlocations to query nearby shipping offices and drop boxes. The tool returns address data and hours of operation directly to your agent.

Perplexity

Team-wide address validation with this MCP Server

`validate_address` lets your engineering team test address parsing logic using the actual carrier verification engine. Your agent writes tests using real standardized address formats instead of dummy strings. Combine this with `get_postal_code` to verify regional data during code reviews. Committing the configuration to your repository gives every developer access to these verification tools immediately.

Live shipping rates inside VS Code Copilot

`get_rates` pulls live pricing data directly into your chat window to help debug checkout calculations. Your agent analyzes the returned rates to ensure your application handles multi-currency transactions correctly. Use `check_service_availability` to verify if specific express services are active for your target zip codes. This prevents your team from writing code for shipping methods that are unavailable in production.

Production-grade tracking and label generation

`create_shipment` generates valid shipping labels and tracking numbers during active development. Your agent checks the output format so you can configure your printing layouts without leaving the IDE. Monitor package lifecycles using `track_package` and `track_multiple_packages` to test status webhook handlers. You can also call `get_proof_of_delivery` to verify how your app processes signature images.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "fedex-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
