How to Use the Fleetio MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Fleetio configuration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository's root directory and commit it to Git. Every developer who opens the project will automatically have the MCP tools loaded into their Copilot agent.

Q: Does VS Code Copilot support writing data back to Fleetio?

Yes, you can modify live records using tools like createmeterentry and createissue. Your agent executes these actions directly from the chat window after you confirm the prompt.

Team-Wide Fleet Integrations via MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_vehicles` and `list_service_reminders` to distribute uniform fleet data access to your entire development team. By committing a single configuration file to your repository, every engineer gets instant access to fleet statuses inside Copilot Chat. This setup removes individual API key management headaches. Your team builds and debugs fleet management features using the exact same environment parameters and live endpoints.

Instant Issue Management and Diagnostics

You manage vehicle breakdowns using `create_issue`, `get_issue`, and `list_issues` directly within your VS Code workspace. When a driver reports a fault, your team uses Copilot to analyze the error logs and create structured tickets in seconds. The agent cross-references these issues with existing records to prevent duplicate entries. It keeps your maintenance backlog clean without requiring manual triage from your developers.

Direct Work Order Auditing

The integration exposes `list_work_orders` and `list_vendors` to let you audit maintenance costs and vendor performance. You ask Copilot to analyze your repair history, and it generates cost-breakdown reports directly in your editor. You spot billing anomalies and slow turnaround times instantly. This direct access turns your editor into an operational command center for fleet logistics.

Setup guide

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