How to Use the Watershed Climate MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle Watershed Climate connectivity?

You set up the MCP Server configuration in a shared .vscode/mcp.json file, committing it to the repository. Every developer on the team automatically has access to all these carbon tools.

Q: Can I get detailed information about the GHG inventory using VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Use listinventories first, then pass a specific inventory ID to getinventory. This provides your team with a deep understanding of emissions composition.

Process Emissions Data Using the MCP Server

For team-wide reporting, your workflow starts by creating a container using `create_upload`. Team members can then use `list_uploads` to find existing containers. They upload activity data records via `upload_data_records`, and once done, they validate everything with `validate_upload`. The agent handles submitting the validated batch through `submit_upload`. This generates a task ID that your team code must monitor using `get_task_status` until calculations are complete.

Generating and Reviewing Carbon Reports

To provide compliance reports, developers use `list_reports` to see all available output formats. Picking a report ID allows the agent to call `get_report`, pulling down full details of the findings. Want to inspect the underlying data? You can pull comprehensive GHG inventory metrics by calling `list_inventories`. This gives your team the necessary context before generating any final reports.

Controlling Upload Data Integrity

Mistakes happen, especially in large datasets. Before submission, always check data using `list_upload_data_records` to audit the contents. If you spot a mistake, use `update_upload_data_record` to fix it, or if it's truly garbage, delete it with `delete_upload_data_record`. This level of control ensures that when your team finally calls `validate_upload`, the submission is rock solid.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

Common questions about Watershed Climate MCP in VS Code Copilot

You set up the MCP Server configuration in a shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file, committing it to the repository. Every developer on the team automatically has access to all these carbon tools.

The server works with activity data records—the granular inputs like usage quantities and locations—to build out Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG inventories.

After submitting an upload for processing, you receive a task ID. You run `get_task_status` with this ID to monitor if Watershed has finished its calculations or if there was an error.

Yes. Use `list_inventories` first, then pass a specific inventory ID to `get_inventory`. This provides your team with a deep understanding of emissions composition.

The server manages activity data records. These are the measured activities that ultimately generate and define the organization's carbon footprint measurements.
