Shared billing tools for VS Code Copilot

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repository so every team member has access to `list_chargedesk_charges` and `get_charge_details`. It standardizes how your group handles payment data. VS Code Copilot users get a consistent environment for debugging. You no longer have to share credentials or manual instructions.

Team-wide customer management

Access your entire customer list with `list_chargedesk_customers` directly from the IDE. Use `list_chargedesk_subscriptions` to help your team track revenue streams across all accounts. Your engineers can resolve support tickets faster by querying the state of any subscription. It turns billing data into a tool for every developer.

Standardized gateway oversight

Use `list_connected_gateways` and `list_chargedesk_webhooks` to monitor your production environment. Every developer sees the same integration status. VS Code Copilot manages these requests securely. It ensures your infrastructure remains visible to the whole engineering team.

Setup guide

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