How to Use the Documint MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Documint configuration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository. Commit it to Git so every developer gets access to the document MCP tools automatically.

Q: Can my team search templates using Documint and VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Your agent uses searchdocuminttemplates and listdocuminttemplates to find matching designs by name inside the editor.

Q: How do we track document errors in Documint using VS Code Copilot?

Your agent runs listfaileddocgenerations to pull a list of failed rendering jobs, helping you debug payload structures in real-time.

Q: Can I inspect template variables before running a generation?

Yes. Your agent runs gettemplatevariableaudit to return a list of required fields so you don't guess the schema.

Audit template schemas inside VS Code Copilot

Keep your team aligned on document structures. Your agent uses `get_template_variable_audit` to verify template fields before committing code changes. This prevents broken production pipelines. Developers can inspect layout structures using `get_template_configuration` directly within their shared workspace.

Trigger live document generation via this MCP Server

Stop writing boilerplates to test PDF outputs. Your agent runs `create_new_generation` to test real templates with active database payloads. You get the exact state of the run instantly. The agent checks `get_generation_details` to return the live PDF download link for quick visual reviews.

Monitor team generation history and usage

Maintain visibility over your entire team's runs. Your agent runs `list_documint_generations` and `list_latest_doc_generations` to audit what's being built. You can check your billing state anytime. The `get_documint_account_metadata` tool exposes your remaining monthly generation volume directly to your editor.
