How to Use the Highnote MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can Highnote and VS Code Copilot list my card products?

Yes. Copilot uses the listcardproducts tool to show you the Consumer, Fleet, or other card programs available in your account.

Q: How do Highnote and VS Code Copilot check API permissions?

Copilot can run getapiprofile to retrieve information about the authenticated user. This confirms exactly which permissions your current API token holds.

Q: How is my customer card data protected in VS Code?

The server handles sensitive getpaymentcarddetails responses strictly in memory. Vinkius isolates the execution in a stateless container that wipes all physical and virtual card numbers the second the request completes.

Give your engineering team direct access to Highnote card management in VS Code Copilot.

Shared Highnote MCP Server Configuration

You drop the Highnote MCP config into your repository's .vscode/mcp.json file. Now every developer on your team can query the ledger directly from VS Code Copilot without hunting for API keys. When a teammate needs to verify a test account, they just ask Copilot. The agent runs `list_account_holders` to find the user ID, then calls `get_financial_account` to check the current balance. Everyone works from the same live data.

Debug Transactions in the Editor

Investigating a missing payment usually means switching to a web portal. With this integration, Copilot executes `list_financial_transactions` right in your IDE to pull recent spending activity. If a specific charge looks wrong, the agent runs `get_transaction_details` to inspect the metadata. It can cross-reference that data by calling `list_ledger_entries` to see exactly how the transaction affected the financial account.

Manage Test Cards During Development

You need to test your application's response to a suspended card. Copilot handles this by running `update_card_status` to change a specific test card to FROZEN. You don't need to build a custom admin script just to toggle states. Copilot can also run `list_payment_cards` to monitor the status and expiration details of all virtual and physical cards in your test program.
