How to Use the MotionTools MCP in VS Code Copilot
Equip your entire engineering team with live MotionTools dispatch data inside VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect MotionTools MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect MotionTools 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.
Standardize Logistics Development
MotionTools integrates into your editor to execute `list_bookings` and `create_booking` right from the Copilot MCP chat. Your entire engineering team accesses the exact same operational data by committing a single configuration file to the repository. Everyone builds against the same truth. This eliminates the works-on-my-machine problem for logistics integrations. A junior developer can ask Copilot to pull a complex order using `get_booking`, and the agent handles the authentication and request formatting automatically. The team ships faster.
Map the MotionTools MCP Server
Using MotionTools means Copilot can map your physical operations via `list_service_areas` and `get_service_area`. When a developer builds a new delivery zone feature, the agent pulls the active geofences directly from the API. The code perfectly reflects the physical boundaries your dispatchers use. Customer data flows into your test environments easily through `list_customers`. You can ask the agent to generate anonymized test fixtures based on the real data structures returned by the tool. Your test suites become significantly more reliable.
Debug Fleet Assignments Inline
MotionTools exposes your physical assets to your editor via `list_vehicles` and `list_drivers`. If a production bug involves a specific delivery truck, you can query its exact state without leaving your IDE. Copilot fetches the metadata and cross-references it with your code. Drilling down requires just a quick prompt to trigger `get_vehicle` or `get_driver`. You identify configuration mismatches between the software and the physical fleet in seconds. You fix the issue and push the patch before the dispatcher even notices.
