How to Use the Flip MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we handle API rate limits during team testing?

The agent can monitor your current usage by calling getbalance to check account limits. This keeps your team informed of resource constraints directly within the editor interface.

Team-wide bank validation inside VS Code Copilot

The `validate_bank_account` tool allows your engineering team to verify recipient accounts directly from the shared terminal panel. By committing the configuration, every developer using VS Code Copilot can run instant verification checks. The agent queries `list_banks` to ensure your local validation scripts use the correct institution codes. This prevents integration errors across your entire development team before pushing to staging.

Manage outbound disbursements via this MCP Server

The `create_disbursement` tool initiates outbound payouts directly from the Copilot chat window. Developers can write payment scripts and instantly trigger test disbursements to verify the API response format. You can check the status of any transfer using `get_disbursement` to debug webhook listeners and payout callbacks. This speeds up integration testing by keeping the entire feedback loop inside your editor.

Reconcile customer payments in your workspace

The `list_payments` tool retrieves incoming customer transactions so your team can verify webhook delivery. VS Code Copilot displays these records directly in your workspace, making it easy to write accurate reconciliation logic. You can also query `list_bills` to match active billing links against incoming payments. This helps your team build and debug checkout systems with live, structured data instead of static test fixtures.
