Standardize team-wide validation with this MCP Server

Keep your entire engineering team on the same page when building contact forms. By committing a shared `.vscode/mcp.json` config to your repository, this MCP Server gives every developer using VS Code Copilot instant access to the Foxentry toolset. When writing backend endpoints, Copilot uses `validate_email` and `validate_phone` to generate consistent validation middleware. This ensures that your team writes code that handles bad data the exact same way, whether they are working on the signup API or the checkout service.

Generate and test reliable address parsers in Copilot Chat

Parsing international addresses is a common source of bugs. Use VS Code Copilot to write reliable address-handling code by feeding it live responses from `validate_address` and `geocode_address`. The agent analyzes the real-world JSON structures returned by Foxentry to write precise parsing logic. This eliminates the guesswork when handling complex postal formats, unit numbers, and regional variations. Your team ships working address validation code on the first commit.

Build secure business verification steps with Copilot

When building KYC or B2B onboarding portals, your team needs to check company details accurately. Your developers can ask VS Code Copilot to write validation routines that use `lookup_business` and `get_business_details` to check corporate entities. Copilot writes the async fetch requests, handles error states for non-existent companies, and maps the registry fields directly to your SQL database schemas.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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