Deploy Hiveage tools across your team in VS Code Copilot

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository so every developer on your team has the same tools. Everyone can use `list_tax_profiles` or `list_billing_items` to ensure consistency in your financial logic. This removes the need for manual setup for each new team member. The environment is ready the moment they clone the repo and open the editor.

Manage estimates and invoices using VS Code Copilot agents

Give your team the power to automate repetitive billing tasks. Use `list_estimates` to monitor pending quotes and `get_estimate_details` to verify contract terms before moving to the next stage. This keeps your team aligned on the billing status of every project. You can track progress without leaving the dev environment you use all day.

Audit-ready payment logs for VS Code Copilot workflows

Keep a clear record of every transaction by building automated logging into your CI/CD or local dev scripts. Use `record_payment` to update your Hiveage account as soon as a payment condition is met. This creates a reliable audit trail for your finance team. You can trust that the data moving through your code matches the records in your accounting system.

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.
