Standardize NinjaCat tools in VS Code Copilot

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file to the repo. Now every developer on your team has instant access to `list_reports` and `get_me` tools without manual setup. Your team stays in sync. Everyone queries the same data sources, ensuring your automation logic remains consistent across every environment.

Automate data source checks in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_data_sources` to verify your environment setup. Your agent checks if the required data accounts are live before you deploy your code. This prevents runtime errors. Your team catches connection issues at the source, not during a production test run.

Fetch agency info within VS Code Copilot

Run `get_agency_info` to grab metadata for your tracking scripts. Your agent pulls the details directly into your workspace for quick reference. It keeps your code clean. You stop hardcoding agency IDs and start relying on the live API to populate your configuration files.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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