Team-Wide Clockwise MCP Server Setup

This MCP package hooks your organization's calendar data into your code editor. You commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repo, and every developer instantly gets access to `get_calendar_events`. No one has to configure anything locally. Copilot reads the shared config and can immediately identify bounded logical arrays managing top-level calendar blocks for the whole team.

Focus Time Analytics

Engineering managers can query productivity metrics without leaving their IDE. Copilot executes `get_focus_time` to extract properties driving active deep work limits across the team. You get hard numbers on how much uninterrupted coding time your squad actually has. The agent pulls `get_time_insights` to resolve nested focus analytics and dumps the raw data straight into your scratchpad.

Automate Meeting Autopilot

Sometimes a production incident requires clearing the deck. You tell Copilot to run `toggle_autopilot`, which irreversibly mutates explicit boundaries to move flexible meetings out of the way. The agent handles the calendar Tetris while you handle the outage. It verifies the changes by calling `get_autopilot_status` to extract the internal structural states from the logic engine.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Clockwise MCP in VS Code Copilot

Press Cmd+Shift+P and search for MCP: Open User Configuration. Add the server command under the mcpServers array. Make sure you are running VS Code version 1.96 or higher.

That is the best way to do it. Put the mcp.json file in your project's .vscode folder and commit it to Git. Everyone pulling the repo gets the tools automatically.

The agent accesses your top-level calendar blocks and team free times. It uses this information to answer questions about scheduling or inject live availability into your workspace.

Your workspace might not have the right authentication token loaded. Ask the agent to run `get_current_user` to check which root identity mappings are currently active.

Enterprise security is built into the architecture. Your root identity mappings and focus analytics route through an ephemeral V8 Isolate that destroys the runtime state immediately after execution.
