Audit Coupa billing workflows in VS Code Copilot

The `list_invoices` tool retrieves real-time billing states and vendor details inside VS Code Copilot. Your engineering team can inspect complex billing and invoice states without leaving their development environment. This simplifies internal debugging when checking why a specific payment run failed. Copilot compares invoice details against active agreements retrieved via `list_contracts` to find discrepancies in contract terms or validity periods.

Verify supplier records and tax details

The `list_suppliers` tool queries your vendor database to retrieve legal names and tax IDs directly. Keeping your vendor database accurate is easier when your editor can query the source of truth. Developers avoid hardcoding incorrect supplier IDs or tax details in integration scripts. Copilot pulls the live metadata directly into your workspace to ensure your codebase matches your actual procurement records.

Manage purchase authorizations using this MCP Server

The `get_purchase_order` tool retrieves shipping and financial boundary data for any active transaction. This MCP Server allows your team to view and update the state of active purchase orders. Running `approve_purchase_order` from the chat interface lets you authorize pending transactions instantly. You change the authorization boundary state in real-time, which unblocks your automated testing workflows.

Setup guide

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.
