Shared geospatial tools for VS Code Copilot

Commit your MCP configuration to the repo. Now every developer on your team uses the same `create_processing` setup for consistent feature extraction. This ensures your city planning models ingest standardized data. Everyone gets the same results from `get_processing_result` every single time.

Manage production GIS tasks in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_processings` to audit what your team is currently working on. It keeps everyone aligned on project status without needing manual status reports. When you need to start a new analysis, `create_project` makes it simple. It keeps your infrastructure clean and your API usage transparent.

Scale your extraction logic with VS Code Copilot

Use `list_models` to ensure your team is using the correct model for the current region. It prevents version drift across your GIS codebase. Standardizing on these tools means your team spends less time on manual data entry. You focus on the analysis while the server handles the extraction.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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