Sync team-wide MENU TIGER configs in VS Code Copilot

This MENU TIGER MCP Server tool allows engineering teams to share a unified restaurant API environment directly inside their editor. By using a shared configuration, your VS Code Copilot agent can run `list_menus` to inspect active digital setups without individual developers needing separate API setups. When building restaurant features, team members can use `list_categories` to map out database schemas. This ensures everyone on the team is writing code against the same live menu categories and structures.

Test order processing pipelines inside your editor

Your VS Code Copilot agent uses `list_orders` to pull active transaction queues directly into the chat pane. This allows developers to inspect real payloads using `get_order` to verify how custom kitchen notification services handle incoming tickets. To test edge cases, the agent can invoke `update_order_status` to change a ticket's state to cancelled or ready. This makes it easy to test webhook receivers and order tracking pages without leaving VS Code.

Inspect item schemas and store status

This tool uses `get_item` to retrieve detailed menu payloads over the MCP Server connection. Having this direct access inside VS Code Copilot helps developers write accurate serialization code for custom restaurant applications. The agent also runs `check_menutiger_status` and `get_account` to verify API health and merchant configurations. This confirms that your development environment is actively communicating with the MENU TIGER platform.

Setup guide

Set up MENU TIGER 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.
