Add exotic car rental data to VS Code

Add CarRentalList to VS Code

1. Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP, paste the URL and name it carrentallist; or add the file below as .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2. Start the server from the Start action above it in mcp.json, or with MCP: List Servers.
3. Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode: the CarRentalList tools are in the tools picker.

{
  "servers": {
    "carrentallist": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.carrentallist.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Check that it works

Ask “Which states have the most exotic rental cars?”. Copilot calls browse_locations.

Every answer carries the date of the data (as_of) and links to the carrentallist.com pages of the cars and companies it mentions.

Troubleshooting

No tools in the chat

MCP tools are used in Agent mode only; switch the chat mode to Agent and check the tools picker.

The server does not start

Run MCP: List Servers → carrentallist → Show Output to see the error; the URL must be exactly the endpoint above.

What it can answer

The server's tools cover cars with published daily rates, where a model can be rented, rate statistics, companies and their rental terms, catalog highlights, the monthly company ranking and exotic car news: see the tools reference and the example answers.
