How to Use the OneLocal LocalReviews MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I know if OneLocal LocalReviews is connected to VS Code Copilot?

Open the Copilot chat and ask it to run checkonelocalstatus. If the server is configured correctly, it will return a success message from the API.

Q: How are customer reviews secured during development?

When a developer runs getreview, the actual customer names and feedback text pass through the editor to the language model. Microsoft handles this data according to your enterprise agreement. Vinkius routes the traffic through a hardened V8 isolate that destroys itself when the query finishes.

Standardize OneLocal LocalReviews access

This MCP Server allows your entire development team to interact with local marketing APIs directly in the editor. You commit the server configuration to your repository. Any developer can then open Copilot and ask it to run `get_reputation` to see live business metrics. Nobody has to hunt down API keys or read swagger files. If a frontend engineer is building a testimonial carousel, they just tell the agent to execute `list_reviews`. Copilot fetches the actual customer feedback and wires up the UI components immediately.

Inspect campaigns in your IDE

Managing active marketing data usually means logging into a separate portal. Now your agent can run `list_campaigns` to pull the active promotions directly into your terminal window. If a specific push is failing, `get_campaign` reveals the configuration details. You can also track physical business footprints. The AI uses `list_locations` to grab the master list of storefronts. When you need the specific address or operating hours to populate a database seeder, `get_location` grabs it instantly.

Test review workflows locally

Building automated outreach requires knowing exactly how the endpoints behave. Your team can run `check_onelocal_status` to ensure the staging environment is connected. Then Copilot can execute `request_review` through the MCP connection to fire a test SMS and verify the payload structure. You can also analyze customer advocacy pipelines. The agent runs `list_referrals` to pull down the latest successful invites. You get real data to test your application logic against, completely bypassing the need for manual API clients.
