Share FastSpring MCP Server configurations with your team

Keep your entire engineering team on the same page by committing your MCP tool settings to git. VS Code Copilot reads configuration files from your project root, giving every developer instant access to `get_subscription_details` and `list_accounts`. This setup eliminates manual environment configuration for new hires. When debugging billing issues, anyone on the team can run `get_order_details` to inspect cloud logs. This shared access ensures that support engineers and developers use the same source of truth.

Run subscription updates from VS Code Copilot

Handling customer plan changes shouldn't require custom scripts or dashboard access. Your agent can call `update_subscription_plan` to adjust active billing tiers directly from the chat interface. This lets your team resolve billing escalations without leaving the editor. If a customer requests a cancellation, the agent can trigger `cancel_subscription` to terminate the contract. It extracts explicit churn flags during the process to keep your downstream analytics accurate.

Verify customer accounts and product catalogs

Ensure your local database matches your billing platform. With `get_account_details` and `list_catalog_products`, VS Code Copilot inspects active buyer records and product mappings in real time. This helps you identify sync errors before they affect production users. You can also use `update_account_info` to push customer profile updates or `generate_auth_link` to create secure login tokens. These tools run directly within the editor's secure MCP environment.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about FastSpring MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a configuration file in your project's `.vscode` folder and commit it to your repository. When team members open the workspace, their editor will automatically load the MCP tools. This ensures everyone has access to the same billing endpoints.

Yes, you can ask the agent to loop through a list of accounts and call `update_subscription_plan` for each one. The agent will execute these calls sequentially and report the status of each update. Make sure to verify your target list before running bulk mutations.

Instruct the agent to search for a specific transaction ID. It will call `get_order_details` to pull the cloud logging data directly into your chat pane. This is the fastest way to verify payment states during a debugging session.

You need version 1.96 or higher to use these tools. Ensure your Copilot extension is updated to the latest version and set to agent mode.

All customer account details, billing records, and catalog mappings are processed through ephemeral isolates. Vinkius manages the authentication tokens securely, meaning your sensitive financial data is never written to persistent disk storage.
