How to Use the Bidsketch MCP in VS Code Copilot
Deploy the Bidsketch MCP Server to your team's VS Code Copilot environment.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Bidsketch MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bidsketch to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Centralize Bidsketch actions in VS Code
Commit your server configuration to the repository to give your entire team access to `list_clients` and other sales tools. This ensures every developer uses the same authenticated connection to pull account info via `get_user_details`.
Draft Bidsketch proposals in VS Code
Trigger the `create_proposal` tool from your editor to generate new documents based on project events. This keeps your sales workflow tied to your development cycle. Use `list_fees` to verify the financial scope of a proposal before finalizing the output.
Audit Bidsketch records using VS Code
Quickly check the status of any lead by calling `get_client` within your workspace. It provides the necessary context to make informed decisions about your projects. The tool returns raw data that you can then format or process further using your agent's coding capabilities.
