Connect Minas Gerais (Estado) MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Minas Gerais (Estado) to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Shared MCP config for VS Code Copilot
Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo to give every team member the same access to the Minas Gerais (Estado) tools. This ensures consistency across your engineering team. Everyone uses the same `list_packages` and `get_package` calls for their tasks.
Automate data discovery
Use `list_tags` to see how datasets are categorized across the state portal. It helps you find relevant data faster during sprint planning. You can then use `search_resources` to identify the files your team needs. It cuts out the manual work of searching the portal website.
Enterprise-ready data access
This server runs as a local subprocess, keeping your traffic contained. It’s a clean way to bring external public data into your VS Code Copilot agent. You get the power of the Minas Gerais (Estado) API without exposing your infrastructure to external dependencies.
