Share fraud tools in VS Code Copilot

Solo debugging is inefficient when dealing with payment gateways. By committing your MCP configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on your team gets instant access to the ClearSale integration. They can check transaction statuses without asking for API keys. When a junior engineer needs to understand why an order failed, they ask Copilot to run `get_order_fraud_status`. The agent retrieves the exact risk factors, explaining the business logic right in the chat panel.

Simulate live risk decisions

Building checkout pipelines requires testing how your app handles rejections. Your AI client can execute `submit_order_fraud_analysis` to push a test payload to the risk engine. You see exactly how long the request takes and what the response looks like. After the test order is in the system, you can manually flip its state to see how your webhooks react. Tell the agent to trigger `update_clearsale_order_status` and watch your local database update in real time.

Monitor integration health

API connections drop when credentials rotate. Instead of digging through environment variables, have Copilot run `get_clearsale_account_info`. It pings the endpoint to confirm your current keys are active. You can also verify that recent transactions are actually reaching the fraud system. Executing `list_recent_fraud_analyses` pulls down the latest evaluated orders, confirming your production environment is transmitting data correctly.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about ClearSale MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the Vinkius endpoint to your repository's `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Once you commit and push, everyone who pulls the branch gets the tools automatically.

Yes. Copilot uses the status tool to pull the specific transaction ID. It reads the raw risk score and translates the flags into a plain English explanation.

The connection is entirely live. Every time you ask the agent to list recent analyses or check an order, it makes a fresh request to the API.

No custom code required. You just type the order parameters into the Copilot chat, and the MCP Server structures the JSON payload for the submission endpoint.

Security is baked into the architecture. Your sensitive e-commerce payloads and fraud scores route through a stateless V8 isolate, meaning no data persists after the connection closes.
