Team-wide field service tooling in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server exposes `list_jobs` and `get_invoice` to give your entire team live access to field data inside VS Code Copilot. Keep your engineering team aligned by committing your MCP Server configuration to Git. Developers can quickly verify how their local code changes interact with actual GorillaDesk accounts. Using a shared configuration reduces setup friction and ensures everyone writes GorillaDesk integrations against the same live API schemas.

Manage customer records without leaving the editor

By running `create_customer` and `update_customer`, this toolset lets you verify backend database modifications directly from your VS Code Copilot chat panel. Testing customer creation logic usually requires manual API requests. Instant direct access lets you inspect real-time customer data changes within VS Code Copilot. It speeds up the development of custom client portals by showing you exactly how the GorillaDesk database responds to your inputs.

Inspect technician schedules and notes on the fly

Accessing `list_users` and `list_notes` lets you inspect technician records and field updates on the fly within VS Code Copilot. Debugging dispatch logic is much easier when you can see your active workforce. VS Code Copilot uses this live context to suggest accurate code fixes for your GorillaDesk scheduling algorithms. You get a clearer picture of your operational data, which helps prevent scheduling conflicts in your custom tools.

Setup guide

Set up GorillaDesk 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.
