Shared Common Paper setup for VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to `.vscode/mcp.json` so every team member has the same tools. Everyone can use `list_templates` to ensure they are using the correct contract versions. It keeps the whole engineering team on the same page. No more hunting for the right document source when everyone has the same tools installed.

Automate contract status in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_signed_agreements` to pull finalized deals into your development tasks. It helps you track when a contract is ready so you can trigger downstream deployment logic. This is about connecting your legal state to your code state. You can verify a deal is signed before allowing a specific feature to go live.

Manage your Common Paper webhooks in VS Code Copilot

Keep your event notifications tidy with `list_webhooks` and `delete_webhook`. It gives your team full control over how you receive updates about your commercial agreements. Managing your infrastructure shouldn't be a separate job. You handle your contract hooks from the same editor where you manage your application code.

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.

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.
