How to Use the MeteoSource MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can we use MeteoSource to automate weather-dependent test suites in VS Code Copilot?

Yes, your agent can call getpointforecast to fetch real data and help you write test assertions based on actual weather payloads.

Q: How does MeteoSource handle coordinate-to-location mapping in VS Code Copilot?

The agent uses getnearestweatherplace to convert raw latitude and longitude into a valid place ID, which can then be used to fetch forecasts.

Q: How do we verify the connection to the weather API?

Use the checkapistatus tool. Copilot runs this to confirm the endpoint is active before executing complex weather queries.

Share live weather data and coordinate mapping across your engineering team in VS Code Copilot.

Resolve Place IDs in VS Code Copilot

The `search_weather_places` tool queries the weather database to resolve city names into unique location identifiers. VS Code Copilot reads these IDs to help your team build consistent, location-based features without hardcoding lookup tables. By committing this MCP configuration to your repository, every developer on the team can access the same location resolution tools. This standardizes how your team handles geographic inputs across different development branches.

Fetch Live Forecast Data Inside Your Workspace

The `get_point_forecast` tool retrieves structured meteorological forecasts for any validated place ID. Your team can use Copilot to inspect the live JSON payload, making it simple to write accurate data mappers and validation schemas. To keep your testing pipeline reliable, the `check_api_status` tool verifies the availability of the weather service. This prevents failing integration tests when the external API is undergoing maintenance.

Integrate Geolocation with this MCP Server

The `get_nearest_weather_place` tool translates GPS coordinates into the closest monitored weather station ID. VS Code Copilot uses this tool to help you write location-aware backend services that map user coordinates to weather feeds. You can also call `get_place_timezone` to fetch local time metadata for those coordinates. This ensures your application displays the correct local time to users, regardless of where they are located.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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