Connect Double the Donation MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Double the Donation to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Access Match Databases in VS Code Copilot
The `search_company` tool queries corporate matching guidelines directly inside your shared workspace. By using this VS Code Copilot MCP Server, your development team can quickly check match ratios and minimum thresholds while coding the payment gateway. Here's the thing: Copilot reads the live API responses to write validation logic for your donation forms. You get accurate, real-world data structures instead of relying on outdated documentation.
Verify Donation Registration Payloads
Your agent runs `register_donation` to test the transaction payload format and verify API compliance. This VS Code Copilot MCP tool ensures that donor emails, campaign IDs, and matching statuses are formatted correctly before deployment. Having this capability inside VS Code Copilot allows developers to debug API errors without leaving the editor. The agent parses error codes and suggests immediate code fixes.
Sync Organization Settings Team-Wide
The `get_organization` tool pulls your nonprofit's 360MatchPro account settings directly into your collaborative workspace. It provides the VS Code Copilot team with unified access to current match configurations and API limits. Because the Double the Donation configuration is stored in your repository, every developer on the project uses the same endpoint definitions. This setup prevents configuration drift across different local environments.
