Using VS Code with DataDoe MCP

Use VS Code when you want to stay in the editor and still query DataDoe through an MCP-enabled assistant (GitHub Copilot Chat or similar).

Prerequisites

• VS Code with an MCP-capable extension installed (GitHub Copilot Chat or similar).
• A DataDoe MCP key. Create one in DataDoe MCP Integrations (opens in a new tab).

Step 1: Add the DataDoe MCP server

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json (project-scoped) or your user mcp.json (global):

1{
2    "servers": {
3        "datadoe": {
4            "type": "http",
5            "url": "https://mcp.datadoe.com/mcp/v1",
6            "headers": {
7                "datadoe-mcp-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
8            }
9        }
10    }
11}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your DataDoe MCP key.

Step 2: Reload VS Code

Reload the VS Code window (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window) so the MCP-enabled extension picks up the new server.

Step 3: Test the connection

Run a prompt that uses DataDoe data, for example:

Show me my Amazon Seller Central sales for the last 7 days.

If your assistant returns real data, you're connected.
