How to Use the ItemPath MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the ItemPath MCP Server config with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it to Git. Any team member with VS Code 1.96+ and Copilot active will automatically load the warehouse tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me debug broken ItemPath order syncs?

Yes, the agent can call listorders to check active statuses and retrieve details using getorder. It can compare this live data with your local database records to find where the sync broke.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot locate specific materials in ItemPath?

The agent queries listmaterials to search for matching SKUs and then uses getmaterial to retrieve quantities and storage rules. It can output this information directly as a JSON object in your editor.

Q: Is it possible to trace who modified inventory using ItemPath in VS Code Copilot?

Yes, you can ask Copilot to query listtransactions to see user IDs associated with stock changes. It can then resolve those IDs to real names by calling listusers.

Share live ItemPath inventory tools across your entire engineering team using this VS Code Copilot MCP Server.

Team-Wide Warehouse Tooling in VS Code Copilot

Standardize warehouse operations across your entire engineering team. By committing an MCP config to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot gets immediate access to tools like `list_orders` and `get_order`. This eliminates the need for individual API key setups and custom internal tools. Your team can troubleshoot order fulfillment issues collaboratively. The agent pulls target locations and picker details directly into the chat, allowing developers to diagnose stuck orders without leaving their workspace.

Audit Material Batches and Lot Tracking

The `list_batches` tool allows VS Code Copilot to track lot histories for regulated materials. Managing regulated items requires strict traceability that developers often have to verify manually. This integration allows Copilot to extract full lot histories directly inside your editor to verify batch numbers against active orders. When writing compliance reports, the agent uses `list_materials` to pull accurate descriptions and IDs. This guarantees that your automated reporting scripts match the physical inventory stored in the warehouse.

Analyze Warehouse Transactions and System Health

The `list_transactions` and `list_calls` tools let VS Code Copilot audit database sync tasks and monitor API performance. Keep your database sync tasks running smoothly by auditing backend changes in real time. Copilot tracks material changes, user IDs, and timestamps to make tracing inventory discrepancies simple during local development. To monitor the integration's performance, developers can call `list_calls` to review API request history. If things look slow, running `get_me` verifies the connection status and current user context to rule out authentication bottlenecks.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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