Access project structures in VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire engineering team aligned by committing your tool config to Git. VS Code Copilot reads `list_projects` to let any developer query active project milestones during standups. Developers can drill down into specific details using `get_project`. This shared context ensures everyone on the team is building features for the correct active initiatives.

Audit timesheets directly within VS Code Copilot

Checking team billing doesn't require opening a separate dashboard. VS Code Copilot calls `list_time_entries` to pull logged hours for the current sprint directly into your sidebar. If an entry looks incorrect, the agent uses `get_time_entry` to retrieve the full log details. You can spot missing hours or misallocated tasks without context switching.

Use this MCP Server to map team availability

Planning your next release requires knowing who is available to write code. VS Code Copilot queries `list_leaves` to check scheduled time off across your engineering department. It cross-references this with `list_employees` and `list_departments` to give you a complete view of your team's capacity. You can plan sprints with accurate data instead of guessing.

Setup guide

Set up Armano 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 Armano 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Armano tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Armano transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
