Enforce Consistent Emissions Logging

Need every new feature to log emissions? Commit the MCP configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json`. This ensures all developers use `add_emission` with the correct data structure, standardizing your team's reporting practices. If a developer forgets to check the status, Copilot can prompt them to run `check_skooteco_status` before committing any related code.

Mandate ESG Reporting in Team Workflows

When generating documentation or compliance checks, every team member gets access to the `get_esg_report`. This makes it mandatory that the latest figures are used when defining requirements. You can also require developers to pull specific data points using `get_impact_profile` when writing tests for new modules.

Centralize Offset and Project Data

To prevent compliance gaps, the Copilot configuration includes tools like `list_projects` and `get_offset`. This centralizes knowledge—every developer knows which projects are available to buy credits against. It ensures that when writing code for mitigation, developers use the correct identifiers provided by the system.

Setup guide

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