Shared Dubsado tool access for VS Code Copilot

Commit your MCP configuration to your repository. Every dev on your team gets instant access to `list_projects` and `get_project` through their Copilot chat window. This keeps your team aligned on business data. You no longer have to manually share API endpoints or credentials to get everyone working on the same page.

Automate Dubsado contracts in VS Code Copilot

Your team can build features that query `list_contracts` or `get_contract` without leaving the editor. This makes it simple to verify client status during development. It turns your editor into a hub for business operations. Your developers can focus on building features rather than hunting for data in external dashboards.

Manage Dubsado invoicing via VS Code Copilot

Use `list_invoices` and `create_invoice` to test your billing integrations. Your team can see real response structures from the API while they write their code. This creates a consistent dev experience for everyone. By using the same tool definitions across the organization, you reduce bugs and speed up your deployment cycles.

Setup guide

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