By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every developer gets instant access to `query_piwik_analytics` through Copilot. When a frontend engineer needs to build a custom reporting widget, they ask the chat. The AI fetches the actual traffic data and writes the implementation. Nobody has to hunt down API credentials or read API documentation. The agent handles the JSON query construction and returns the exact metrics required for the task.

Check tracking configurations inline

Copilot runs `list_piwik_goals` and `list_piwik_apps` to verify event tracking details while you edit your application code. If you are wiring up a new signup button, the AI checks the existing goal definitions. You know immediately if a conversion ID matches the production environment. This stops bad tracking code from ever reaching your main branch.

Review dashboard and site metadata

The `list_piwik_dashboards` and `list_piwik_sites` tools give Copilot full visibility into your reporting structure. You can ask the AI to map out which domains are actively tracked before you start a major refactor. It also pulls account rosters using `list_piwik_users`. If you are writing a script to automate user onboarding, the AI uses the live account list to test the logic.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "piwik-pro-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Piwik PRO MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the connection details to your workspace `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Once committed, every developer on the project automatically inherits the tools in their Copilot Chat.

The agent fetches the dashboard metadata and structure. It knows what reports exist, which helps it understand how your organization currently visualizes its traffic.

Yes. You must switch the chat to Agent mode so Copilot can actively execute the API requests and return the raw data.

That depends on your setup. You can pass a shared environment variable through the configuration file, or require each developer to supply their own read-only token.

The integration operates entirely within your local VS Code environment. Your raw conversion metrics and user permission lists are fetched directly from the API endpoint to your machine, bypassing any external logging services.
