Manage organizational departments in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_departments` to get a live list of cost centers for your internal tools. Your agent can then use this data to map your project structures. It saves you the time of looking up IDs manually. You stay in your editor and let the agent do the heavy lifting.

Check vacation schedules in VS Code Copilot

Call `list_vacations` to see who is away. This helps you plan your sprint capacity without leaving your IDE. Your agent keeps track of these schedules for you. It provides a quick summary so you can get back to your code.

Verify employee status using VS Code Copilot

Run `list_employees` to search for team members or verify current roles. It returns the exact data from your system. This keeps your team operations aligned with the source of truth. The agent handles the data retrieval so you don't have to context switch.

Setup guide

Set up Buk 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

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.

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