What is the Veraset MCP Server?
Bind the massive scale of Veraset geolocation data directly to your preferred AI conversational agent. Eradicate context switching when analyzing billions of Points of Interest (POI) and mobile signal attributes.
What you can do
- Live SQL Querying — Prompt your LLM agent to construct, dispatch, and execute ANSI SQL directly aimed at Veraset databases to compute geolocation aggregates.
- Rapid Execution Management — Check on long-running geolocation jobs, pull back the output tables seamlessly, or ruthlessly cancel intensive queries straight from your text box.
- Dataset Profiling — Scan all your available Veraset packages, request quick dataset schemas, or instantly preview data samples to ensure accuracy before executing queries.
- Delivery Bucket Access — Query the secure S3 delivery prefixes attached to your organization for bulk downloads and dynamically generate pre-signed file keys in seconds.
How it works
- Install and subscribe to this connector
- Authorize it using your private Veraset API Key
- Start fetching and aggregating geolocation data speaking naturally with Claude, Cursor, or compatible clients.
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Analysts — validate the schema and preview raw columns of massive geographic drops directly while coding data-pipelines inside Cursor.
- Geospatial Engineers — test SQL queries logically pulling subsets of location signals (Movement/Visits datasets) prior to baking them into Python deployments.
- Retail Strategy Leads — ask your assistant to fetch quick summaries of competitive POI foot-traffic anomalies without digging into AWS architectures.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Veraset data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI really create and download a pre-signed link from Veraset's S3 directly?
Yes. Upon using the generateDownloadLinkTool, the agent will interface via Veraset's protocol using your API token, instantly retrieving an authenticated, time-sensitive download link to let you extract the immense dataset files securely.
What happens if a SQL statement to Veraset starts taking too long?
You don't need to panic or swap tools. Instruct your agent: cancel the running query id 'query-xx9', and the cancelQueryTool fires an immediate abort network call. The computation ends, saving extensive costs without abandoning the conversational flow.
How can I preview geolocation signals before compiling expensive queries?
Ask for the getSchemaTool followed by getSampleTool. The AI perfectly delivers the dataset definitions and outputs five physical preview rows right inside your message history, confirming expected structure formatting.
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.
