Team-Wide Property Integration with VS Code Copilot

The `get_property_info` tool retrieves your hotel configuration and service structures directly into your shared development workspace. By committing the configuration to your repository, your entire engineering team shares the same access rules. When developers write booking integrations, they use `list_services` to verify active hotel offerings. This shared MCP Server environment prevents discrepancies between team members working on different parts of the PMS pipeline.

Debug Booking and Reservation Logic Instantly

The `get_reservation` tool pulls specific booking details directly into Copilot Chat to help you debug reservation state machines. You don't need to open postman or log into the Mews dashboard to verify if a booking status is correct. For complex group bookings, `list_room_blocks` provides the exact room types and release dates. Your agent helps you write tests that match these live parameters, ensuring your code handles edge cases flawlessly.

Verify Rate and Pricing Rules in Chat

The `list_rates` tool exposes active pricing, restrictions, and availability rules directly in your editor. You can ask Copilot to analyze these rules while you write custom booking engine logic. When building custom checkout flows, `list_payments` confirms settlement statuses for testing. This direct connection lets you verify that your code handles both authorized and pending transactions correctly.

Setup guide

Set up Mews 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.
