Connect Billplz MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Billplz 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.
Team-Wide Payment Setup in VS Code Copilot
The `create_collection` tool allows your team to provision payment channels directly from the editor's chat interface. By committing the configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer gets instant access to `list_collections` and `get_collection` tools. This shared setup ensures that your entire engineering team works with the same payment environments. It eliminates configuration drift and speeds up onboarding for new developers joining your billing project.
Direct Bill Management Using the Billplz MCP Server
The `create_bill` tool generates production or sandbox payment links right where your team writes code. If a developer needs to clear out a stuck transaction, they can instruct the agent to run `delete_bill` to remove the unpaid record. Managing these bills directly in VS Code Copilot keeps your developers focused. They do not need to log into a separate web console to verify if an invoice was successfully generated.
Automated Transaction Auditing
The `list_transactions` tool retrieves payment histories for any active bill in your repository context. Your agent uses `get_bill` to pull the exact status of a payment, allowing you to debug webhook issues without leaving your workspace. This capability speeds up the resolution of payment discrepancies. Your team can run diagnostic queries and inspect transaction arrays directly via this MCP connection.
