What is the Numeral Formatter Engine MCP Server?
When an AI Agent builds a dashboard summary or writes a financial report, it shouldn't guess how to format 10000 as $10,000.00 or 2560000 as 2.5MB. LLMs frequently hallucinate locale-specific separators, currency symbols, and decimal precision.
The Superpowers
- Pixel-Perfect Formatting: Uses Numeral.js (6M+ weekly downloads) for strict, deterministic number display.
- Every Format Covered: Currencies (
$0,0.00), bytes (0.0b), percentages (0%), abbreviations (0.0a), and custom patterns.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass the raw number as a string and the Numeral.js format pattern (e.g. "$0,0.00" for currency, "0.0b" for bytes, "0%" for percentage, "0.0a" for abbreviations). Formats raw numbers into perfect display strings: currencies ($10,000.00), bytes (2.5MB), percentages (97%), or abbreviations (1.5k). Powered by Numeral.js

Frequently asked questions
What format strings are supported?
All Numeral.js patterns: $0,0.00 (currency), 0.0b (bytes), 0% (percent), 0.0a (abbreviation), 0,0 (thousands), and custom combinations.
Can it format negative numbers?
Yes, negative numbers are handled automatically with the correct minus sign placement based on the format pattern.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
