Team Order Visibility

The `list_active_orders` tool lets every developer on the team instantly know what deliveries are currently running. This knowledge is committed to your repo config. You can then use `get_order` to pull up specific details for any job ID, making onboarding new devs simple.

Full Dispatch Cycle Management

The team needs to process a shipment? Start by calling `create_order`, which handles the initial payload. The agent then uses `assign_driver` to finalize the job assignment in one sequence. You can also use `update_order_status` across the board when simulating changes or testing status flows.

Tracking and Retrieval

Need to check where a package is? The dedicated tool, `get_tracking_progress`, gives real-time location data. It's perfect for QA teams running end-to-end tests. If the shipment was handled by a third party, `get_carrier_order` pulls that specific carrier info.

Setup guide

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