Shared Accounting Tools via VS Code Copilot

The `get_company_info` tool fetches your corporate profile details to keep your team aligned. By committing an MCP configuration to your repository, every developer on your team gets access to the same billing endpoints. Your team can run queries without sharing API keys manually. This keeps your development environment secure and uniform. Everyone writes code against the same schema, preventing configuration drift across local setups.

Direct Invoice Generation

The `create_invoice` tool generates new billing records directly from your chat sidebar. If you are building automated billing scripts, the agent uses this tool to verify the payload structure. You can also call `get_invoice` to confirm that the generated invoice matches your system requirements. This direct feedback loop speeds up integration testing. You don't have to switch to a web browser to verify that your MCP setup successfully created a record.

Verifying Suppliers and Catalogs

The `list_parties` tool retrieves supplier records to verify vendor IDs. Your agent references this data when writing automated payout routines. You can also run `list_products` to match vendor prices with your internal inventory catalog. Having these tools in your editor keeps your development clean. You build reliable financial integrations because you are working with real supplier configurations from day one.

Setup guide

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

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 Billit tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Billit transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
