Team-wide MCP Server access in VS Code

Commit your configuration to the repo. Every developer gets the same `get_container_tracking` tool access immediately. It removes the headache of individual setup. Everyone uses the same tools, meaning your logistics logic stays consistent across the whole team.

Audit events across the team in VS Code

Standardize how your team queries shipment history. Using `get_shipment_events` ensures everyone pulls data the same way. This makes debugging much faster. If one dev sees a weird event, the rest of the team can pull the same data to verify it.

Verify API health in VS Code

Don't waste time debugging your own code when the upstream service is down. Use `check_api_status` to see if the platform is responding. It’s a quick check that saves everyone on the team from chasing phantom bugs. If the status is down, you know exactly where to look.

Setup guide

Set up SafeCube Container Tracking 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 SafeCube Container Tracking 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 SafeCube Container Tracking tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent SafeCube Container Tracking transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "safecube-container-tracking-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about SafeCube Container Tracking MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the configuration to a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository. When your team pulls the latest code, they get access to the same tools.

Yes, it integrates directly. Once configured, your team can ask the chat agent to retrieve container data using the provided tools.

You can, but a project-level config is better for teams. Use the MCP user configuration if you need it available across every project you open.

Since it’s an MCP server, all calls are logged locally. You can review the interaction history in your chat logs to see how the team is using the tools.

We enforce zero-trust policies through the Vinkius sandbox. Your shipment IDs and API keys are isolated, and no external entity can intercept the traffic between VS Code and the server.
