How to Use the Celoxis MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we roll out the Celoxis MCP Server to our VS Code Copilot users?

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repository root containing the server configuration. Every developer pulling that branch automatically gets access to the ERP tools in Agent mode.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot read our Celoxis task lists?

The listtasks tool fetches detailed WBS items representing concrete deliverables. Your engineers can query active project requirements directly from the chat panel.

Q: Does VS Code Copilot track Celoxis milestones?

Calling listmilestones maps absolute phase delivery tracking inside the WBS. This keeps your development team aware of upcoming deadlines without logging into the web dashboard.

Q: How do developers check resource availability?

They ask the agent to run listresources to parse the core user mappings. This returns explicit working resources and their current allocations across active sprints.

Share live Celoxis ERP data across your engineering team by connecting VS Code Copilot to your project tracking and resource workflows.

Sync project timelines with VS Code Copilot

`list_projects` and `get_project` expose your top-level portfolio items directly to your team's editor. Developers ask Copilot for the current status of an integration, and it reads the physical timeline data from the ERP. Deep dives into the Work Breakdown Structure happen via `list_tasks` and `list_milestones`. The agent grabs concrete deliverables and absolute phase tracking, keeping your engineers aligned with the PM's schedule without leaving their IDE.

Read timesheets and expense reports

`list_time_entries` gives your engineering team visibility into actual logged hours for accounting scripts. Copilot reads the explicit task entries to help developers debug billing synchronization issues using the MCP Server. Checking `list_expenses` and `list_approvals` reveals raw billable items mapped to specific tasks. The agent pulls these pending constraints so your team can write accurate approval-routing logic.

Access risk matrices and client portfolios

`list_risks` and `list_issues` pull blocked workflow items straight into the chat panel. When a developer needs to know why a deployment is paused, the agent checks the custom application matrix for explicit organizational risks. Managing external mappings requires `list_clients` and `list_portfolios`. Your team commits the MCP configuration to the repository, giving everyone instant access to the strategic global tracking data needed for CRM integrations.

Setup guide

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