Share Flux Markets data tools across your team

Keep your entire engineering team aligned on the same energy market schemas. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` MCP Server configuration file to your repo, every developer gets instant access to `list_products` and `list_symbols` through Copilot. New developers don't need to waste time configuring API endpoints manually. They can immediately ask Copilot to fetch active energy symbols, keeping your team's development environment uniform.

Query live energy prices inside VS Code Copilot

Debugging trading pipelines requires quick access to live market states. This MCP Server lets your developers query `get_live_tickers` and `get_market_snapshot` directly within the Copilot Chat interface. Instead of leaving VS Code to check a web terminal, you query the live book from your editor. Copilot uses the live JSON payloads to help you write exact parsing logic for incoming market feeds.

Inspect benchmark reports inside VS Code Copilot

Building compliance and reporting tools is easier when you can see the source data. Copilot reads daily swap settlements via `get_swap_settlements` and benchmark reports using `get_officials` directly inside your workspace. When writing reports, you can ask Copilot to verify the math against these official endpoints. It uses the structured output to ensure your custom calculations match the official energy benchmarks.

Setup guide

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.
