How to Use the COR MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the COR MCP Server config across our engineering team?

You can commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your team's Git repository. Every developer using VS Code Copilot will automatically inherit the tools without manual setup.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot update COR project statuses?

The agent can use createcorproject to spin up new projects and query existing ones, keeping your team's workspace synced with your agency's management suite.

Q: How do I check if my team has access to the tools?

Run the checkcorstatus tool in Copilot chat to verify the MCP connection. If it returns a healthy status, your team is ready to query the API.

Equip your entire engineering team with live COR project tracking inside VS Code Copilot.

Sync agency tasks with your VS Code Copilot workflow

The `list_cor_tasks` tool connects your VS Code Copilot chat directly to your active agency tickets. Developers can query their assigned work without leaving their workspace. The agent pulls the requirements and helps structure the code to match the ticket. By committing a shared configuration file to your repository, your whole team gets instant access to these MCP tools. It eliminates the friction of onboarding new developers to your agency's tracking systems.

Audit team capacity inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_cor_team_users` tool lets team leads check who is assigned to which technical pipeline directly inside VS Code Copilot. You can reallocate resources during sprint planning without opening a browser. The agent analyzes the team list and suggests the best developer for the job. You can also call `list_cor_teams` to see how different squads are structured. This keeps your engineering resources aligned with your agency's high-margin projects.

Track development costs as you write code

The `list_cor_time_entries` tool lets you monitor the hours billed to specific engineering tasks inside VS Code Copilot. You can ask the agent how much budget remains on a feature before you start writing it. It keeps developers aware of project constraints in real-time. If a feature is taking longer than expected, you can run `get_cor_project` to check the overall margin. This helps you make informed decisions about scope creep before it's too late.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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