Team-wide Matomo access in VS Code

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repo so every developer has the same `get_visits_summary` capabilities. It standardizes how your team views production performance. This setup ensures everyone works from the same data source. It prevents the drift that happens when individuals use different reporting tools.

Referrer tracking in VS Code

Use `get_top_referrers` and `get_top_websites` to see where your traffic comes from. Your team can use this to prioritize work on specific integration partners. It brings external context into your IDE. You stop coding in a vacuum and start building for your actual audience.

Analyze visitor trends in VS Code

Call `get_visitor_profile` to help your team understand user behavior patterns. It provides clear evidence for why a specific feature might be underperforming. Developers can see the impact of their work immediately. It shifts the conversation from subjective opinion to hard numbers.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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