A shared toolset for your whole team

This is built for teams. Add the Albi Restoration MCP Server config to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Every developer who pulls the repo gets the same set of tools instantly. No more passing around API keys or Postman collections. A new developer can clone the project and immediately ask Copilot to `list_restoration_projects` or `list_inventory_equipment` without any extra setup. It standardizes how your team interacts with Albi data.

Build internal tools with Copilot Agent

Move from chat assistant to active agent. With this MCP Server, Copilot can execute actions. Ask it to 'scaffold a report showing financial KPIs for all active projects,' and it will use `list_restoration_projects` and `get_project_financial_kpis` to build the script for you. Your agent isn't just suggesting code; it's running tools and using the live output to write functional scripts. It's a faster way to build the internal dashboards and reports your team needs, directly inside VS Code.

Manage projects and contacts from the editor

You don't have to leave VS Code to manage basic Albi data. If you're working on an integration, you can have Copilot `create_new_contact` or `create_new_restoration_project` to populate your test environment. The agent performs the action and gives you back the results, like the ID of the new project. This closes the loop between writing code and interacting with the services that code depends on.

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.

Common questions about Albi Restoration MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory and add the server configuration there. Commit the file to Git, and everyone on the team will get the tools automatically.

Yes. Switch Copilot to Agent mode and instruct it to use the `create_new_restoration_project` tool. It will ask for the necessary inputs and execute the command for you.

Any developer can ask the Copilot agent, 'What are the financial KPIs for project X?'. The agent uses the `get_project_financial_kpis` tool to fetch and display the data directly in the chat panel.

Yes. The configuration can be managed and distributed via your Git repository, and access is handled through standard authentication. The MCP Server itself runs in a secure, isolated environment.

The server only touches the data needed for a specific tool call, like project names or financial KPIs. Each operation runs in a dedicated, ephemeral sandbox on Vinkius, and all traces of the request are purged once it's complete. Your data isn't stored or analyzed.
