Perplexity

Team-Wide Freight Integration

The Navisphere MCP Server gives your entire development team instant access to `search_available_loads`. You drop the configuration into your repository, and every engineer can pull open lanes directly from their Copilot chat. Nobody wastes time hunting down API keys or setting up Postman collections. When a developer needs to build a new booking feature, Copilot uses `create_shipment` to test the payload right in the IDE.

Live Tracking Data in VS Code

Building visibility tools requires accurate location data from `track_shipment`. Copilot hits the endpoint to pull current coordinates into your editor while you write the mapping interface. If you need to handle complex route updates, Copilot calls `get_tracking_events` to see the historical event array. Your team writes parsing logic against real driver location pings, catching edge cases before production.

Write Bidding Logic with MCP

Developing automated freight procurement systems demands precise pricing data via `get_rate_estimate`. Copilot uses this MCP tool to pull live market rates so you can validate your margin calculations on the fly. When you finish the calculation engine, Copilot helps you wire up the execution side. It drafts the exact HTTP requests for `submit_bid` and `update_shipment_status`, ensuring your app correctly updates the load state.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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