Team-wide AssessTEAM tracking inside VS Code Copilot

The `create_timesheet_entry` tool lets your entire team log their development hours directly from their chat window. By committing a shared `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository, every developer gets instant access to time tracking. The MCP Server runs in a secure sandbox, ensuring that your team's credentials remain private. Developers can submit hours without switching contexts or opening external browsers.

Audit project margins from your editor

The `get_profitability_report` tool pulls live financial metrics via MCP directly into your VS Code interface. You can analyze project budgets and burn rates without leaving your codebase. Pair this with `list_projects` to get a complete view of active builds. Your agent can parse these reports to flag which tasks are eating up too many hours.

Track employee performance evaluations

The `list_performance_evaluations` tool pulls rating history directly into your workspace. This makes it easy for engineering managers to prepare for reviews without leaving their development environment. Use `list_employees` alongside it to map reviews to specific team members. You get a clear picture of department growth and individual contributions instantly.

Setup guide

Set up AssessTEAM 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.

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.
