Automate document compilation via VS Code Copilot

The `generate_pdf_from_template` tool integrates document generation into your team's development environment. Your agent accesses `list_available_builtin_templates` to choose a layout, then populates it with mock or live database records. This setup lets engineers test layout changes without setting up heavy local rendering engines. The agent runs the compilation process inside our managed MCP workspace, keeping local environments clean.

Render web pages and HTML strings directly

The `generate_pdf_from_html` and `generate_image_from_html` tools let your team convert live web interfaces into static assets. Your agent feeds raw HTML strings or URLs directly to the rendering engine to generate high-fidelity outputs. For rapid UI reviews, the `take_web_screenshot` tool captures full-page layouts. This gives developers a direct way to verify how responsive layouts look when flattened into document formats.

Manage document history and combine files

The `merge_multiple_pdfs` and `add_elements_to_pdf` tools let you build multi-stage document workflows. Your agent can combine separate reports and append custom metadata or watermark elements onto the final output. You can audit the outputs of these operations by querying `list_generation_history`. This makes it simple to track the exact files generated during a debugging session.

Setup guide

Set up Docamatic 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 Docamatic 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.
