Team-Wide Scraping Workflows

The `extract_html` and `extract_markdown` tools let Copilot pull live web data directly into your workspace. You drop a URL in chat, and your agent grabs the raw content to build out your parsing logic. When you commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every developer gets these same MCP tools. The whole team can run `search_web` to find reference material without leaving their editor.

Debug Pipelines from the Editor

The `list_pipelines` and `get_pipeline` tools expose your remote scraping configurations to your AI client. You ask Copilot why a specific data feed is broken, and it reads the exact setup. You track active runs using `list_jobs` and `get_job`. Instead of switching to a browser dashboard, your agent pulls the error traces and suggests fixes right next to your code.

Manage Nimbleway MCP Server Resources

Web scraping eats up bandwidth fast. The `get_account_usage` and `get_me` tools let your agent warn you if a test script is about to blow through your monthly quota. You also get `list_proxies` to verify your IP rotation strategy. Copilot checks your proxy settings to ensure you avoid rate limits before you deploy a new scraper.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
