Setup guide

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

Common questions about BOSSDesk MCP in VS Code Copilot

You manage the configuration via a shared .vscode/mcp.json file. This ensures every team member stays on the same page.

It is built for team-wide deployment. You can standardize your IT workflows across the entire engineering organization.

Every tool defined in the server is available. You just need to enable agent mode in your Copilot chat.

You need version 1.96 or higher. Older versions do not support the required protocol features.

We enforce strict access controls on your IT user records. Your data is never persisted by the agent and only exists during the active execution window.
