Centralized client identification via MCP Server

For entire teams, consistency matters. The `parse_ua` tool allows you to standardize how your code handles user agents. By committing the configuration that uses this MCP Server, every developer gets access to accurate Browser, OS, and Device data. It makes sure everyone's AI agent can reliably decode raw HTTP User-Agent strings into structured JSON, eliminating guesswork from log files across the entire repository.

Enforce consistent log handling with VS Code Copilot

When building shared services, you need reliable client specs. Using `parse_ua` lets your team commit a standard way to decode raw UA strings. The tool extracts the Browser, OS, and Device information into structured JSON. This is critical for enterprise-grade codebases where multiple developers rely on consistent access to accurate metadata.

Improve team productivity using User-Agent Parser

Instead of having individual developers write different parsing logic, the whole team uses this single MCP Server. With `parse_ua`, everyone gets clean JSON output containing Browser, OS, and Device identification. This means your Copilot agent can generate robust code that assumes accurate client context, which is a massive win for team-wide development.

Setup guide

Set up User-Agent Parser 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 User-Agent Parser 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.

Common questions about User-Agent Parser MCP in VS Code Copilot

By adding the MCP Server to your shared `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer gets instant access to `parse_ua`. The tool lets your agent reliably decode raw UA strings into structured JSON, ensuring consistent client specs across the whole team.

It processes raw HTTP User-Agent strings found in headers or server logs. The output is a clean, structured JSON object detailing the Browser, OS, and Device information.

Yes. Since it only processes technical metadata—the raw UA string—it provides accurate client identification without needing access to sensitive user PII, making it safe for team deployment.

The tool requires a single piece of data: the raw User-Agent string. This string must be provided from HTTP headers or server logs to trigger the parsing function.

The server touches and processes technical client metadata, specifically raw HTTP User-Agent strings. It outputs structured Browser, OS, and Device specifications for accurate code context.
