Connect Bilflo MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Bilflo 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.
Standardize Bilflo access in VS Code Copilot
Commit your configuration to the repo so everyone uses the same `list_clients` tools. It prevents team members from using outdated scripts to fetch data. `get_direct_hire` ensures that everyone on the team sees the same record details. This keeps your team aligned on the same source of truth.
Monitor timecards using your MCP Server
Use `list_timecards` to track team hours directly inside the editor. This MCP Server gives your whole team visibility into project timelines. Call `get_timecard` to pull logs for specific team members. It makes it easy to resolve discrepancies without opening a browser.
Sync staffing rules with VS Code Copilot
Run `list_overtime_rules` to make sure your team's code follows local regulations. You can check these rules as part of your PR process. Use `list_placements` to verify that your current codebase matches your live staffing assignments. It keeps your deployments consistent with your human resource state.
