Standardized Braintree tools for VS Code Copilot

Share payment tools across your team by committing the config to your repository. Everyone uses the same `capture_transaction` logic to ensure consistent behavior across your dev environment. This keeps the team aligned. You avoid the headache of individual setup scripts for every developer.

Search transactions within VS Code Copilot

Run `search_transactions` to find recent activity without leaving your IDE. It helps your team investigate payment failures during code reviews or bug fixes. It keeps your workflow moving. You verify API behavior in the same space where you maintain your backend code.

Handle customer data in VS Code Copilot

Fetch profiles using `get_customer` while documenting your API integrations. Your team gets instant access to the data structures they need to build robust payment features. This reduces context switching. You spend your day in the editor, not the browser.

Setup guide

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