Enforce green standards with VS Code Copilot

The `check_green_hosting` tool enables engineering teams to verify the sustainability of their cloud dependencies directly from their shared editor. By committing the MCP Server configuration to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot can instantly check if an endpoint runs on clean energy. This shared access ensures that sustainability metrics are verified at the earliest stage of development. Your team can maintain strict carbon-neutral compliance without changing their coding environment.

Query hosting data inside your team MCP Server

Running the `check_green_hosting` tool inside VS Code Copilot lets you run ad-hoc audits on any domain mentioned in your codebase. You simply ask Copilot Chat to check a URL, and the server fetches the green status directly from the registry. The tool returns structured data, which Copilot formats into a clean table inside your sidebar. This makes it easy to compare the carbon footprint of different cloud vendors during planning sessions.

Document cloud sustainability in VS Code Copilot

The `check_green_hosting` tool feeds live verification data into your project's markdown documentation through Copilot's generation engine. You can ask your agent to draft a sustainability compliance file, and it will pull live green hosting records for your active servers. This eliminates the need to manually verify and copy-paste host information into your repository. Your documentation stays accurate, up-to-date, and backed by verifiable green credentials.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "green-web-check-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
