How to Use the Afterpay MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team share the Afterpay configuration for VS Code Copilot?

You add the server details to a file named mcp.json inside the .vscode directory at your project's root. Commit that file to your Git repository, and everyone who pulls the project will have the tools configured.

Give Your Whole Team Afterpay Tools

This MCP Server is built for teams. You configure the connection once in a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. That's it. Every developer on your team automatically gets the same set of Afterpay tools in their VS Code Copilot instance. There's no individual setup or key management. New hires pull the repo and they're ready to go. It keeps your whole team in sync and working with the same capabilities, which is exactly what you want for a critical piece of infrastructure like payments.

Build and Test Afterpay Integrations

You can use Copilot's agent mode to interact with your Afterpay account directly from the editor. Ask it to look up an order's status and logs using `get_payment_details` or to pull a list of historical transactions with `list_payments`. This is useful for debugging issues or building internal dashboards. When you need to process a refund, you can tell the agent to use `refund_payment` with the correct order ID and amount, and it handles the API call for you.

Access Afterpay Config in VS Code Copilot

Stop switching contexts to look up your account settings. While you're writing code, you can ask VS Code Copilot to check your Afterpay transaction limits by calling `get_afterpay_config`. You get the min/max values instantly. You can also kick off a new payment flow. Tell the agent to use `create_checkout` with an amount, and it will return the session token you need. This keeps you focused on the code, not on navigating external dashboards.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Afterpay MCP in VS Code Copilot

You add the server details to a file named `mcp.json` inside the `.vscode` directory at your project's root. Commit that file to your Git repository, and everyone who pulls the project will have the tools configured.

Yes. With the agent enabled, you can say "create an Afterpay checkout for $150." Copilot will use the `create_checkout` tool and provide the resulting session token.

It is. Simply ask the agent to "get details for Afterpay order 98765." It calls the `get_payment_details` tool and shows you the order's status, settlement info, and logs.

You'll need VS Code version 1.96 or newer to use MCP servers with GitHub Copilot. You also need to have the Copilot Chat extension installed and enabled.

It's restricted to order and payment metadata: IDs, transaction amounts, status codes, and logs. Your private Afterpay API keys are managed by Vinkius and are never exposed to VS Code or your local machine.
