How to Use the Route4Me MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Route4Me integration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and commit it. Every developer on your team using VS Code Copilot will automatically gain access to the routing tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot delete addresses in Route4Me?

Yes, the agent can call deleteaddress if you instruct it to clean up specific test records. It requires explicit confirmation in the chat before executing any destructive actions.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot query active vehicle routes from Route4Me?

The agent invokes getroutes to retrieve current driver paths. It then formats this JSON payload directly in your chat sidebar to help you debug active dispatch issues.

Standardize address cleanup with this VS Code MCP Server

The `get_addresses` tool lets your team query customer location databases from Route4Me directly inside VS Code Copilot. Engineers can write cleanup scripts and verify them instantly by checking real address records without switching to an external browser. When testing integration pipelines, your team can run `create_address` or `update_address` to verify that customer data flows correctly into Route4Me. This shared capability keeps your staging and production environments aligned.

Analyze optimization runs in VS Code Copilot

Retrieving historical dispatch calculations directly into your VS Code Copilot chat window is handled by the `get_optimizations` tool. Your team can run post-mortem analyses on past routes to identify why certain runs failed to meet time windows. By calling `get_routes`, developers can inspect active Route4Me path layouts. This live feedback helps your engineering team debug custom dispatch dashboards by validating real-time route geometry.

Verify fleet assets inside VS Code Copilot

The `get_vehicles` tool fetches your complete active fleet roster from Route4Me directly into the VS Code Copilot editor. Your team can quickly cross-reference vehicle IDs when writing custom telematics integrations. Combine this with `get_users` to verify driver profile structures. VS Code Copilot uses these tools to help you write accurate, type-safe API wrappers for your logistics software.

Setup guide

Set up Route4Me 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 Route4Me 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Route4Me tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Route4Me transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "route4me-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
