Team-Wide Craftboxx MCP Server Access

`get_business_stats` and `list_orders` become available to your entire engineering team. You commit the MCP configuration to your repository, and every developer gets live access to job data. Your AI client reads the same operational truth across the whole organization. Onboarding new engineers gets much faster. They open the project, and Copilot can instantly query `get_order_details` to explain how your data is structured. Nobody has to hunt down API credentials.

Live Customer and Task Data

`list_customers` and `list_tasks` feed real context into your daily development. You ask Copilot to debug a failing customer sync, and it pulls the actual partner record to find the formatting error. Your agent stops guessing and starts verifying. Generating test cases is trivial with `create_order`. Your team can spin up specific craft jobs to test new billing logic. Copilot handles the API interaction while you focus on the business rules.

Field Resource Management

`list_appointments` and `list_employees` give your editor direct access to dispatch schedules. You write shift-management code, and Copilot verifies the logic against real field work. The AI understands your actual team structure. Equipment tracking relies on `list_materials` and `list_vehicles_resources`. Your agent checks inventory and machine availability while you build allocation features. You write better code when your editor knows exactly what sits in the warehouse.

Setup guide

Set up Craftboxx 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.
