Perplexity

Share Chargebee test environments across VS Code Copilot

By running `list_plans` and `list_addons` through VS Code Copilot, your team can access active product catalogs without leaving the codebase. Standardize how your engineering team tests billing integrations. This eliminates the need for shared Postman collections. Your developers can query the billing catalog directly from their active editor window.

Debug customer issues in VS Code Copilot

VS Code Copilot executes `get_customer` and `get_subscription` to pull active user states directly into your chat pane. When debugging a billing bug, you need to see the exact state of the user's account. Having this context right next to your code speeds up debugging. You can immediately see if a feature is locked due to an outstanding invoice.

Manage active billing states with this MCP Server

You can trigger `cancel_subscription` or `create_subscription` inside VS Code Copilot to simulate billing lifecycle events during development. This lets you simulate lifecycle events during development without leaving your IDE. The agent handles the API communication, leaving you free to focus on how your application handles the resulting webhooks.

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.

Switch to Agent mode
