How to Use the Deel MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we configure the Deel MCP Server for our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's root directory and add the server configuration. Commit this file to your Git repo, and everyone who pulls the project will have the Deel tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot use Deel data to help us write financial scripts?

Yes. In Agent mode, you can ask Copilot to use tools like listinvoices or listpayments to fetch live data from Deel, which helps in writing and debugging financial scripts.

Equip your entire engineering team with Deel HR and payment data, right inside VS Code Copilot.

A Shared MCP Server for Your Whole Team

Set up the Deel server in your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it. Now every developer on your team gets the same tools. Anyone can ask Copilot to `list_people` to find a contractor's location or check a contract's status with `list_contracts`. This shared context means fewer questions in Slack. When a developer needs to know the terms of a specific agreement, they can just ask Copilot to run `get_contract`. The information appears right in their editor.

Build Sync Services with Live Deel Data

When you're building a service to sync Deel with your accounting software, you need real data. Ask Copilot to use `list_payments` to get a list of recent transactions. This helps you write accurate parsing and transformation logic from the start. You can also use `list_invoices` to pull billing data or `list_expenses` to check on reimbursements, all without leaving VS Code.

Align Code with Deel Project Milestones

A team lead can get a quick status update by asking Copilot about project progress in Deel. The `list_milestones` tool pulls up the key deliverables and their payment triggers for any contract. You can drill down further. The `list_tasks` tool shows the specific tasks associated with a milestone. It's a simple way for the engineering team to see how their work connects to the business side managed in Deel. This MCP server connects both worlds.

Setup guide

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