How to Use the AlgoDocs MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the AlgoDocs configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the AlgoDocs MCP Server details. When your team pulls the latest code and opens VS Code Copilot, the document extraction tools will be available to everyone automatically.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me build extractor schemas for AlgoDocs?

Yes. VS Code Copilot runs listextractors to inspect your active extractors, then writes the corresponding code or config files. This ensures your code is always in sync with your document extraction rules.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot retrieve parsed data from AlgoDocs?

The agent calls getdocumentdata with your document ID to fetch the parsed JSON payload. It can then format this data, write it to a local JSON file, or use it to generate type definitions.

Q: Can I upload local files to the parser using this setup?

You can trigger extractions for web-hosted files using uploaddocumentfromurl. For local files, you can upload them to your storage folder first, then use the agent to monitor their progress.

Share automated document extraction tools with your entire team inside VS Code Copilot.

Share extraction tools across your team with this MCP Server

The `get_document_data` tool lets every developer on your team fetch parsed document data directly inside VS Code Copilot. By adding this MCP Server to your repository's `.vscode/mcp.json` file, everyone gets instant access to `get_document_data` and `list_recent_documents`. No more sharing API keys or writing custom test scripts for AlgoDocs. Developers can query active extractions directly from the VS Code Copilot Chat panel, keeping everyone aligned on the data structures your application processes.

Track production document pipelines in Copilot Chat

The `get_document_status` tool lets VS Code Copilot check the progress of files stuck in the processing queue. If you need to debug a batch issue, the agent runs `list_extractor_data` to pull bulk extraction results right into your VS Code Copilot terminal. It lets you troubleshoot pipeline bottlenecks in seconds.

Manage account limits and folders globally

The `get_api_usage` tool lets VS Code Copilot monitor your organization's document limits directly inside your workspace. You can also organize your storage environments by letting VS Code Copilot call `list_folders` and `get_folder_details` to verify that your staging and production environments are configured correctly.

Setup guide

Set up AlgoDocs 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.
