Standardize subnet validation in VS Code Copilot

The `validate_ip` tool provides team-wide network verification inside your VS Code Copilot environment. By committing the configuration to your Git repository, every developer automatically gains access to identical validation rules. This shared MCP Server setup prevents mismatched subnet calculations across your engineering team. Copilot reads the committed settings and uses the tool to audit infrastructure-as-code files.

Audit Terraform files during development

The `validate_ip` tool parses CIDR notations inside your cloud templates before you run a plan. Copilot checks each security group block against the local math engine to flag invalid ranges. You stop wasting CI/CD minutes on basic syntax errors. Your VS Code MCP agent highlights the exact line in VS Code where your subnet mask fails validation.

Verify complex enterprise routing tables

The `validate_ip` tool calculates host capacities for massive IPv6 blocks. Feed VS Code Copilot your raw routing configurations to map out structural allocations. Expect precise broadcast and network addresses in the response. Your agent uses this data to document your infrastructure directly inside the workspace.

Setup guide

Set up IP & CIDR Validator 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 IP & CIDR Validator 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 IP & CIDR Validator tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent IP & CIDR Validator transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about IP & CIDR Validator MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it. When team members open the project, VS Code Copilot automatically loads the MCP Server and registers the tool.

Yes, it operates within VS Code's secure sandbox environment. VS Code Copilot routes calls to the local tool, ensuring no sensitive network configurations leak.

The tool handles both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, including standard CIDR notations. VS Code Copilot passes these strings to the local binary engine for instant parsing.

No, the server runs completely self-contained. Your agent calls the pre-compiled binary tool directly, eliminating local dependency conflicts.

Yes, all parsed IP addresses, CIDR blocks, and subnet masks are processed locally on your workstation. The transaction stays strictly within your isolated MCP run-time, preventing any exposure of internal network layouts to public LLMs.
