Standardize fleet access in VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to the repository so every engineer uses the same tools. The team can use `list_iot_devices` to ensure everyone is testing against the same hardware IDs. It keeps your entire organization in sync. When an API or device tag changes, updating the central config file pushes the fix to every developer instantly.

Control SIM states via VS Code Copilot

Integrate cellular lifecycle management into your CI/CD pipelines. Use `pause_sim_data` within your test suites to ensure your code handles service interruptions gracefully. Your team can verify SIM status using `list_sim_cards` before running heavy deployments. It prevents unexpected errors caused by inactive modems in your test fleet.

Track usage across the team in VS Code Copilot

Keep an eye on fleet data consumption without leaving your IDE. Use `get_daily_usage_stats` to monitor if your new firmware updates are causing unexpected spikes in data usage. This visibility helps your team catch performance issues early. You can easily share usage reports by piping the output of `get_billing_cycle_usage` into your team's internal documentation.

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.
