Investigate Checkout.com errors together

`get_payment_details` allows any developer on your team to inspect a failed transaction directly from their editor. You paste a charge ID into Copilot Chat, and it returns the exact decline reason. Debugging becomes a collaborative process that happens entirely inside your IDE. Sharing context reduces resolution time. By committing your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every engineer gets access to `list_payment_actions`. The entire squad can trace the lifecycle of a bugged payment without sharing dashboard passwords.

Handle refunds via MCP Server

`refund_checkout_payment` gives developers a fast way to reset test state. You tell Copilot to reverse a specific transaction, and it handles the API call while you stay focused on the codebase. Resetting your local environment takes one quick prompt. Testing auth-and-capture flows requires constant cleanup. Using `void_checkout_payment` lets your agent cancel pending holds instantly. When you need to verify successful collection, `capture_checkout_payment` moves the funds.

Inspect merchant settings inline

`get_checkout_account_info` pulls your core merchant data directly into VS Code. Your AI client reads this configuration to verify that you are testing against the correct regional endpoints. Fixing environment mismatches happens before you even run the code. Missing webhooks break order fulfillment. Running `list_checkout_webhooks` shows exactly where the gateway is sending event notifications. You can spot a misconfigured staging URL before you merge your pull request.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "checkoutcom-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
