Setup guide

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

Common questions about Friendbuy MCP in VS Code Copilot

Define the server in a shared .vscode/mcp.json file. Once pushed to your repository, your team can enable the tools in Copilot Chat.

The server runs locally on each developer's machine. It follows standard security practices and only touches the data you explicitly query.

You control access via your local configuration files. You can choose which developers have access to sensitive tools like conversion tracking.

The server manages requests efficiently. If you hit a limit, the agent reports the specific error so you can adjust your call frequency.

The tools access referral codes, purchase logs, and reward status. This data is handled in memory and never stored by the MCP server itself.
