How to Use the Fitbit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we configure the Fitbit server for our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and add the Fitbit MCP Server configurations. Once committed, any team member using VS Code Copilot can access the health tools in Agent mode.

Q: How do I pull Fitbit sleep cycles into VS Code Copilot?

Ask the Copilot agent to run getsleepdate to pull your sleep duration, stages, and efficiency score. VS Code Copilot can then use these metrics to write and test your custom sleep tracking scripts.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot secure my Fitbit blood oxygen data?

Your blood oxygen levels retrieved via getspo2 are transmitted through secure, encrypted endpoints. VS Code Copilot only requests this SpO2 data during active chat sessions, and this MCP connection uses secure, zero-trust protocols so no health data is cached.

Share Fitbit health data tools across your engineering team in VS Code Copilot using a single shared configuration.

Share Fitbit data schemas across VS Code Copilot

The `get_devices` tool retrieves active Fitbit hardware versions, battery levels, and sync times directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. Your development team uses these device details to debug hardware integration bugs and sync latency issues. By committing this MCP Server setup to your repository, every developer on your team gets instant access to device diagnostics. VS Code Copilot reads the hardware states to help you write better sync-handling code.

Validate biometric algorithms with VS Code Copilot

The `get_cardio_fitness_score` tool pulls your VO2 Max data and percentile rankings directly into your VS Code Copilot session. Your agent uses these cardio metrics to test fitness scoring algorithms and health-tracking logic. This integration allows your team to test complex health formulas against actual, varied fitness levels. You no longer have to manually construct mock payloads to verify your VO2 Max calculations in VS Code Copilot.

Query physical stress markers in your workspace

The `get_breathing_rate` tool fetches your daily average breathing rate in breaths per minute inside VS Code Copilot. Your agent analyzes these respiration rates alongside heart rate variability to help you build stress-tracking models. Having this biometric data inside VS Code Copilot speeds up the prototyping of wellness apps. The MCP Server delivers clean JSON payloads of your respiratory habits directly to your active coding chat.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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