Team-wide test seeding with VS Code Copilot

`generate_mock_data` standardizes mock data generation across your entire team. By checking in a shared config, every developer gets instant access to Mockaroo's generation engine. Your agent calls the MCP Server to build localized JSON mock files. This eliminates the drift that happens when developers write their own inconsistent mock scripts.

Sync saved schemas with your local workspace

`generate_from_schema` pulls production-grade schemas straight from your centralized Mockaroo account into VS Code Copilot. Your agent matches these schemas against your active branch's code. Using the MCP to call `list_schemas`, the agent verifies that you are using the correct version of the schema. This keeps your automated integration tests aligned with your staging environments.

Verify field types inside your editor

`list_field_types` displays all valid Mockaroo generators directly inside your VS Code Copilot chat panel. Your agent references this list to build accurate data generation prompts without syntax errors. If your team relies on custom seed files, `list_datasets` lets the agent target those specific CSVs. You get highly specific, contextual data instead of generic lorem ipsum text.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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