Perplexity

Standardized team operations

Commit your mcp.json to the repository to give your whole team access to `list_jobs` and `list_customers`. Everyone works from the same set of tools. This removes the headache of individual setup. Once you define the server config, the entire team has a consistent way to interact with your service platform.

Secure team-wide API access

You can manage access to your account data through your existing dev workflow. Using `get_company` lets your team verify their connection status quickly. Centralizing the tools in the repo ensures everyone follows the same patterns. It makes the development process predictable for your entire engineering staff.

Automate repetitive service tasks

Your team can build scripts that use `list_webhooks` to monitor account events. This allows for automated responses to service updates. Having these tools in VS Code lets you build better internal tooling faster. Your developers spend less time on boilerplate and more time on features.

Setup guide

Set up Housecall Pro 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 Housecall Pro 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.

Verify the connection

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