Perplexity

Share this MCP Server across your entire dev team

Standardize your team's Bolt payment debugging workflow by adding this MCP Server to your `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Every developer pulling the repo gets instant access to tools like `get_merchant_status` inside VS Code Copilot. This eliminates the need for your engineers to share Bolt merchant dashboard credentials outside of VS Code. They can verify Bolt sandbox configurations directly from the VS Code Copilot sidebar while writing frontend code.

Trace transaction flows inside VS Code Copilot

When an integration test fails, ask Copilot to trace the Bolt payment path. VS Code Copilot calls `get_transaction` and `get_order_details` to return the complete Bolt payment history of a test customer. This lets your team inspect the exact state transitions of a Bolt purchase inside VS Code. You can see whether a Bolt payment failed during authorization or capture, saving hours of manual API logging inside VS Code.

Safely test capture and refund operations

Let your QA engineers trigger Bolt payment actions directly from VS Code Copilot. They can run `capture_transaction` to finalize a test auth, or run `void_transaction` to clear temporary Bolt holds. Copilot uses `list_transactions` to display the updated ledger immediately. Your team can run through complex Bolt chargeback and capture scenarios without leaving VS Code.

Setup guide

Set up Bolt 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

Add the Bolt MCP

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.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Bolt tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Bolt transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bolt-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
