Share demographic tools across your engineering team

Commit your configuration file to Git so everyone on the team has immediate access to the `get_name_frequency` tool via this MCP Server. Developers on your team can query decade-based Brazilian birth counts without setting up individual API keys. This team-wide setup ensures that everyone works with the same official Brazilian data. Your team can build and test Brazilian census-based features using identical backend schemas.

Query regional rankings inside VS Code Copilot

The `get_names_ranking` tool allows developers to pull localized naming statistics directly into the chat panel. Copilot uses these demographic figures to suggest realistic Brazilian names for database seeds and localization tests. This integration keeps your team inside VS Code when looking up Brazilian name statistics. There is no need to maintain external postman collections for basic Brazilian demographic lookups.

Automate test generation with real census figures

Using `get_name_frequency` with multiple names helps you generate realistic mock data for testing. Copilot reads the returned IBGE JSON and writes unit tests that handle actual statistical variations in Brazilian names. Your tests become much more reliable because they reflect real-world Brazilian census patterns. You avoid edge cases that occur when developers invent Brazilian naming data manually.

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.

Tell Copilot to look up the names using a pipe separator. The agent calls `get_name_frequency` and formats the decade-by-decade counts into a clean markdown table.

Every request is routed through an isolated V8 sandbox that destroys the runtime environment immediately after execution. Your proprietary codebase is never exposed to the external IBGE API. Only the name parameters are sent to fetch the statistics.
