How to Use the Nord Pool MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I get day-ahead prices from Nord Pool using VS Code Copilot?

Once the MCP server is configured in your mcp.json, just open Copilot Chat and ask your question. For example, 'Get me the day-ahead prices for DE-LU and AT in EUR.' Copilot will use the getdayaheadprices tool and return the data directly.

Q: Can my whole team use the same Nord Pool tools in VS Code Copilot?

Yes. By placing the configuration in a .vscode/mcp.json file and committing it to your Git repository, every team member who pulls the repo will have the same tools available in Copilot automatically.

Equip your whole team with live Nord Pool data inside VS Code Copilot for consistent energy market analysis.

Shared Config for Team-Wide Access

Add the Nord Pool MCP Server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Once you commit it, every developer on your team gets instant access to the same set of tools within VS Code Copilot. This ends the 'works on my machine' problem. Everyone can use tools like `get_yearly_prices` and `get_yearly_volumes` for consistent long-term analysis, all configured through a single file in your repo.

Query Market Data from Your Editor

Get energy market data without breaking your coding flow. Open the Copilot Chat panel and ask for 'day-ahead prices in Poland for yesterday in PLN'. The agent uses the `get_day_ahead_prices` tool and gives you the answer right there. It's faster than switching to a browser or running a script. You get immediate, accurate data from Nord Pool to inform the code you're writing in real time.

Analyze Grid Constraints with VS Code Copilot

Your agent can now understand the physical power grid. Ask it to 'check the flow-based constraints for the Core region' or 'get transmission capacity from Denmark to Germany'. Copilot will use the `get_flow_based_constraints` and `get_transmission_capacities` tools to give you hard numbers. This is essential for any team building applications that depend on European energy transmission.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Nord Pool MCP in VS Code Copilot

Once the MCP server is configured in your `mcp.json`, just open Copilot Chat and ask your question. For example, 'Get me the day-ahead prices for DE-LU and AT in EUR.' Copilot will use the `get_day_ahead_prices` tool and return the data directly.

Yes. By placing the configuration in a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and committing it to your Git repository, every team member who pulls the repo will have the same tools available in Copilot automatically.

Just ask Copilot Chat. Say, 'Show me the power consumption forecasts for Sweden.' Your agent will use the `get_consumption_forecasts` tool to pull the data for all Swedish bidding zones (SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4).

You'll need VS Code version 1.96 or newer to use MCP tools with GitHub Copilot. This ensures you have the necessary Agent mode and chat capabilities.

The server is stateless and only processes requests for public energy data. It doesn't know who is asking or why. Your code, Git history, and other workspace files are completely isolated and never sent to the MCP server. It's just a proxy for Nord Pool's public market data.
