Standardize tools across your team

The best part of using this in VS Code is the `.vscode/mcp.json` file. You configure the server once, commit the file to your Git repo, and every developer on the project instantly gets the same tool. This stops developers from writing their own, slightly different numbering scripts. Your team gets a single, reliable source for `generate_bates_numbers` calls, ensuring consistency across the entire codebase.

An enterprise-ready MCP Server

For large-scale litigation, you need auditable, error-free processes. LLMs are not reliable for sequential numbering. They guess, and they make mistakes. This MCP server provides a deterministic tool that your agent can trust. When Copilot calls `generate_bates_numbers`, it's not asking an LLM to count. It's executing a purpose-built function that returns a perfect sequence, which is exactly what you need for auditable legal work.

Get work done without leaving the editor

You're right in the middle of writing a data processing script in VS Code. Instead of switching windows to a different tool or writing a helper function, just open Copilot Chat. Ask it to generate the Bates numbers you need. Copilot calls the tool and gives you a clean JSON array to paste directly into your code. It's a simple, focused workflow that keeps you in the zone and moving forward.

Setup guide

Set up Bates Numbering Generator Engine 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 Bates Numbering Generator Engine 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.

Common questions about Bates Numbering Generator Engine MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your project's root directory and add the server configuration. Commit that file to your repository, and everyone on the team will have access.

Copilot's base model is an LLM, which is not reliable for generating long, perfect sequences. This tool is a deterministic engine, so it guarantees 100% accuracy with no skipped numbers or duplicates.

Yes. The tool is built for high-volume jobs typical of e-Discovery. You can request sequences of hundreds of thousands of numbers without any issue.

You'll need VS Code version 1.96 or newer to use MCP extensions. It works with any GitHub Copilot subscription that includes Copilot Chat.

The Bates Numbering Generator Engine is isolated from your project files. It doesn't read your code or any documents. The only information it processes are the explicit parameters you provide for number generation, like a prefix string and a count.
