How to Use the Unit & FX Calculator MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I ensure Unit & FX Calculator works with VS Code Copilot?

The easiest way is to commit the MCP config file (.vscode/mcp.json) containing the server details. Then, make sure you switch Copilot Chat into Agent mode.

Q: Can I use Unit & FX Calculator for bulk conversions in VS Code Copilot?

Yes. The batchconvert tool allows your agent to pass multiple values and their units, executing a single deterministic conversion operation across many data points.

Q: What kind of unit data does Unit & FX Calculator support with VS Code Copilot?

It supports both physical units (through convertunit) and currency pairs (through getrate). The tool is built to manage both types of mathematical conversion.

Q: What is the best way to set up Unit & FX Calculator for VS Code Copilot?

Team Tooling with MCP Server

You can commit the MCP configuration via `.vscode/mcp.json`, ensuring every developer on your team automatically has access to this Unit & FX Calculator. This keeps everyone on the same page regarding conversion logic. Copilot Chat, when in Agent mode, uses these tools to provide accurate math and currency lookups across the entire codebase.

Deterministic Conversions for All Team Members

The `convert_unit` tool provides reliable physical unit conversions (like Celsius to Fahrenheit). Since this config is committed, every engineer uses the same deterministic mathjs calculations. This eliminates arguments over which conversion constants are correct; it's just code.

Centralized Currency Rate Lookups

Use `get_rate` to fetch exact foreign exchange rates, ensuring your team always uses the latest financial data. Because this is managed via a shared `.vscode/mcp.json`, the rate source is consistent across all projects. This prevents individual developers from using outdated or hallucinated exchange figures.

Setup guide

Set up Unit & FX Calculator 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.
