Shared Sports Data Tools for VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire development team on the same page. By adding this MCP Server to your workspace configuration, every engineer gets instant access to `get_fixture_details` and `get_team_details` inside their chat sidebar. This eliminates the friction of setting up individual sandbox accounts. Your team can collaboratively build and test sports features using the exact same live API endpoints.

Test API Payload Schemas on the Fly

Avoid runtime errors caused by outdated sports data assumptions. Your agent calls `get_player_details` and `get_fixture_lineup` to check the exact structure of the incoming data payloads. Copilot uses these real-time schemas to generate accurate TypeScript types and validation schemas. You catch missing fields and type mismatches during development rather than in production.

Track League Formats and Match Schedules

Managing complex esports schedules is difficult. This toolset lets your agent use `list_competitions` and `list_fixtures` to inspect active tournaments and their upcoming match-ups. You can write automated test suites that pull real fixture lists to verify your scheduling algorithms. It ensures your app handles postponed or rescheduled matches gracefully.

Setup guide

Set up GameScorekeeper 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

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

.vscode/mcp.json
