How to Use the Foodpanda MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we give our team Foodpanda access in VS Code Copilot?

A team lead adds the Foodpanda MCP server config to a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's repository. Once they commit and push, everyone who pulls the change gets the tools automatically.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot update a Foodpanda menu?

Any developer can ask the agent to run updatevendorcatalog with new menu data. Since everyone shares the same MCP server configuration, the API calls are consistent across the team.

Q: Is it safe to manage store status from VS Code?

Yes. The updatevendorstatus tool requires authentication, which is handled by the MCP configuration. It's as secure as using the official dashboard, but accessible to your authorized developers.

Give your whole engineering team access to Foodpanda APIs right inside VS Code with Copilot.

Shared Foodpanda MCP Server for Your Team

Set up the Foodpanda server once. Just add it to the `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Now every developer on your team automatically gets the same set of tools in their VS Code Copilot chat. This ends the "works on my machine" problem for API access. Your junior dev and senior architect use the exact same `get_order_details` and `update_vendor_catalog` tools, ensuring everyone is building against the same live environment.

Manage Operations from Your Editor

No more context switching to a separate admin panel. If you need to pause new orders during a deployment, just ask Copilot to do it. Your agent will call `update_vendor_status` to set the store to 'busy' or 'closed'. Your agent can also check on things before pushing code. Ask "Is the main Foodpanda store open?" and it runs `get_vendor_status` for a real-time answer. It keeps your whole team in sync with operational realities.

Script Catalog and Promotion Changes

Use Copilot to help you write and run scripts for managing your Foodpanda presence. Start by pulling all your product categories with `get_vendor_categories`, then script bulk additions using `add_catalog_products`. Planning a holiday special? Work with your agent to craft the right API call for `upsert_promotion`. Because it's all in VS Code, you can version control your promotion scripts in Git just like any other piece of your team's code.

Setup guide

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

Yes. Open Copilot chat and ask it to get the order history for a specific vendor and date range. It uses the `get_order_history` tool to pull the data for you.

Any developer can ask the agent to run `update_vendor_catalog` with new menu data. Since everyone shares the same MCP server configuration, the API calls are consistent across the team.

Yes. The `update_vendor_status` tool requires authentication, which is handled by the MCP configuration. It's as secure as using the official dashboard, but accessible to your authorized developers.

Only the developer making the request sees the data. Your team's Foodpanda operational data—like orders, menus, and promotions—is proxied through a Vinkius ephemeral sandbox for the duration of the API call and is not stored.
