Share payment tools across your team in VS Code

Keep your developers aligned on how you process Colombian transactions. By committing an MCP Server configuration to your repository, your team gets instant access to tools like `list_transactions` directly in VS Code Copilot. This setup ensures everyone uses the same sandbox and production keys safely. No more sharing raw API keys over Slack just to verify a payment status or inspect a payload.

Debug payment links without leaving your workspace

When a customer complains about an invoice, your developers can debug the issue instantly. Your agent can call `get_payment_link` to inspect the exact configuration of the link that was sent. If the link needs to be rebuilt, the developer can ask the agent to run `create_payment_link` to generate a fresh checkout URL. It cuts down resolution times because the support data is right there in the code editor.

Manage terminal fleets from your terminal pane

Tracking hardware issues across multiple retail stores is a headache. This MCP Server lets your team run `list_terminals` to see which physical card readers are active or disconnected. If a terminal needs a test charge, the developer can run `initiate_terminal_payment` directly from VS Code Copilot. It makes remote hardware debugging incredibly simple for your engineering team.

Setup guide

Set up Bold 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

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