How to Use the FieldAware MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we configure FieldAware for our entire team in VS Code Copilot?

Add the server configuration to your .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your Git repository. Every developer using VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot will automatically inherit access to the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot create new records in our FieldAware account?

Yes, the developer agent can call createjob to insert new service records during testing. You can control these write permissions by managing the API key scopes inside your Vinkius dashboard.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle the privacy of our FieldAware invoices?

All financial records retrieved via getinvoice are processed locally within your editor session. Vinkius secures the transport layer, ensuring your billing figures and private customer contacts never leak into public training models.

Equip your engineering team with shared FieldAware tools directly inside VS Code Copilot for faster integration builds.

Share FieldAware MCP Server setups across your team

The `list_jobs` tool lets your development team track active work orders directly inside VS Code Copilot. By committing `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository, your team can query field service data without configuring individual API keys. The shared environment ensures that everyone writes code against the same API endpoints. Copilot uses this shared context to help developers debug job dispatch systems and asset tracking tools uniformly.

Validate field assets and customer records in Copilot Chat

The `list_assets` tool pulls live hardware inventory records into VS Code Copilot for instant code validation. Instead of writing mock data, you can ask Copilot to verify if an asset serial number exists by calling `get_customer` and `list_customers`. This live validation keeps your codebase clean and prevents invalid data structures from reaching production. Copilot uses the actual API responses to suggest correct variable types and database schemas.

Inspect quotes and invoices from your editor

The `list_invoices` tool retrieves real financial data inside VS Code Copilot to trace billing pipelines. The agent pulls active financial records to help you trace how service items are billed via `list_quotes`. By invoking `list_items` and `get_invoice`, Copilot analyzes the relationships between your price book and historical transactions. This live lookup helps you write precise reconciliation scripts without leaving your development environment.

Setup guide

Set up FieldAware 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.
