Standardize thermal calculations

Commit `calculate_cooking_duration` to your repo's config to ensure every team member uses the same logic. Consistency across your team's development environment starts with shared MCP configurations.

Sync carryover impact models

Use `estimate_carryover_impact` to keep your team's thermal models aligned. This prevents discrepancies in how your applications handle heat-related data.

Implement resting time protocols

Ensure every project follows the same standards by calling `calculate_rest_duration`. It keeps your team's output uniform and scientifically sound.

Setup guide

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