Standardize Your Team's Tooling

Set up the Mashvisor tools once for everyone. Just add the server configuration to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Every developer on the team automatically gets the same tools in Copilot Chat. No more individual API keys or setup instructions. When a new developer joins, they clone the repo and have access instantly. It makes your team's development environment consistent and removes configuration headaches.

Analyze Entire Markets in Your Editor

Go beyond single properties. Ask Copilot to 'list the top 5 neighborhoods in Denver by cap rate.' It uses the `list_neighborhoods` tool to get the data and presents it directly in the chat interface. You can also use `get_city_listings` to check market-wide stats like average days on market or price history. It's like having a real estate analyst built into your IDE, ready to answer questions about market health.

Model Investment Scenarios with Copilot

Use Copilot to run 'what-if' scenarios. Ask it to 'model the projected annual income for this property as an Airbnb versus a traditional rental.' It will use `get_rental_rates` for the traditional estimate and `get_investment_analysis` for the Airbnb numbers. To add another layer, have it factor in seasonality using data from `get_historical_performance`. This lets your team quickly evaluate the financial viability and risks of different investment strategies without leaving VS Code.

Setup guide

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

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

Common questions about Mashvisor MCP in VS Code Copilot
