How to Use the Extracta MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the Extracta MCP Server configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the server settings. Once committed to Git, every developer on your team will have access to the tools.

Q: How do I verify that Extracta is correctly configured in VS Code Copilot?

Switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode and ask it to run viewextraction with an active ID. If the tool returns your schema details, the connection is active and working.

Q: What happens if an extraction task takes too long?

Your agent will poll the status using getresults. If the document is still being processed, the tool returns a pending status, and the agent will check again shortly.

Perplexity

Standardize document parsing across your engineering team

The `create_extraction` tool establishes consistent document extraction schemas across your entire team via this MCP integration. By defining expected fields like invoice dates or contract terms, you ensure everyone on the team uses the same structured JSON format. Developers use `upload_file_url` inside Copilot Chat to test document processing pipelines. The agent monitors progress via `get_results` and displays the final JSON payload directly in the editor.

Build document classification pipelines in VS Code

The `create_classification` tool integrates document categorization directly into your team's development workflow. You define target document types like invoices or receipts using a shared JSON schema. This Extracta MCP Server lets your agent call `get_classification_results` to test routing logic. You can easily audit these classifications by calling `view_classification` directly from the Copilot chat panel.

Manage production schemas without redeploying code

The `update_extraction` tool allows you to modify document mapping rules without changing a single line of application code. If a vendor updates their document layout, your agent updates the parser configuration immediately. You can inspect active configurations with `view_extraction` or pull historical extraction data using `get_batch_results` for compliance audits. Stale pipelines can be removed instantly with `delete_extraction`.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "extracta-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }

No, this integration runs inside the VS Code editor context. For automated pipelines, you should call the API directly, though you can use Copilot to write and test those scripts using `get_results`.

Switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode and ask it to run `view_extraction` with an active ID. If the tool returns your schema details, the connection is active and working.

Your agent will poll the status using `get_results`. If the document is still being processed, the tool returns a pending status, and the agent will check again shortly.

Your API keys and document metadata are handled through a zero-trust architecture. All communication is encrypted transit-only, meaning raw text and extracted data are never cached or stored on the proxy layers.
