Shared iFood tools for VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repository so your whole team uses the same `get_stores` and `get_orders` tools. This prevents configuration drift across your engineering squad. Every developer gets identical access to the delivery pipeline. You maintain control over how the team interacts with the merchant account.

Order status pipelines in VS Code

Build automated status updates using `update_order_status` within your editor. Your team can hook these tools into CI/CD pipelines to verify order progression. This keeps your delivery flow visible and manageable. You eliminate manual status checks by letting the agent handle the fulfillment loop.

Catalog integrity in VS Code

Run audits on your store catalogs using `get_catalog` and `get_store_details` as part of your standard development process. If an item needs an update, `update_catalog_item` handles it from your terminal. Your code becomes the single source of truth for your store settings. You avoid discrepancies by managing everything directly from the editor.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ifood-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
