Team-wide ID Management

By committing the MCP configuration, every developer gets access to `generate_uuids`. This ensures the entire engineering team uses the same standard for generating unique keys. It's a great way to enforce consistent data standards across multiple microservices.

Pre-flight Service Checks

Developers can run `check_api_status` via Copilot Chat’s Agent mode. This confirms the UUID Generator API is ready before any team member starts coding with it. It removes guesswork and lets you troubleshoot infrastructure issues faster.

Automating ID Placeholders

When writing boilerplate code, your agent can call `generate_uuids` to insert functional UUID placeholders. This speeds up the initial setup of data models. This capability helps keep new team members productive without needing deep knowledge of ID formatting.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uuid-generator-api-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about UUID Generator API MCP in VS Code Copilot

You add the server details to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project root. When you switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode, the tool becomes available for use by every developer on the team.

Yes. Use the `check_api_status` tool in the chat pane. This provides an immediate confirmation that the service is live and ready for team use.

It generates unique, versioned identifiers (UUIDs). These are high-quality keys perfect for managing relational data structures within your codebase.

Since the configuration is committed to the repo, it's naturally part of an IT-managed rollout. The tools are shared and consistent across all team members using your organization's repository.

The tool only handles the unique identifier generation process and status checks. It never accesses or modifies source code content outside of providing the necessary ID strings to your agent.
