Shared project oversight for VS Code teams

Commit your MCP configuration to your repository so every developer has the same tools. Use `list_projects` to pull the latest onboarding status for the whole team. Getting details on a specific project is as simple as running `get_project`. It ensures everyone has a single source of truth inside their editor.

Standardized task workflows in VS Code

Keep your team's task list in sync without manual updates. Use `list_tasks` to see what is on the docket and `get_task` to view requirements. When a task moves, use `update_task` to reflect the change globally. It keeps your project management as code-centric as your deployment process.

Team-wide time tracking integration

Ensure your project billing is accurate across the team. Use `create_time_record` to log effort against tasks identified by `list_time_records`. It makes reporting simple and consistent. Your team spends less time on administrative tasks and more on implementation.

Setup guide

Set up GUIDEcx 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.

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.

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the GUIDEcx tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent GUIDEcx transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
