Team-wide Giddyup configuration

Commit your .vscode/mcp.json to the repo so every developer on your team has access to the same `create_job` and `list_jobs` tools. It ensures everyone is working from the same source of truth. This makes onboarding new devs to the dispatch codebase trivial. They get the tools they need the moment they open the project.

Enterprise-ready tool management

Manage your Giddyup integration within your standard VS Code environment. It respects your existing security protocols while providing powerful agentic capabilities. Your engineers use the AI to query `get_customer` or `get_lead` info without needing separate admin dashboards, keeping them in the flow.

Monitor system health in VS Code

Include `check_giddyup_status` in your diagnostic routines to ensure your integrations are healthy. It provides instant feedback if the service is unreachable. This reduces time spent debugging connection issues, as you can verify the status directly from the editor's chat panel.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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