Map real routing numbers in your workspace

The `increase_create_routing_number` tool lets you generate functional routing and account numbers directly within VS Code Copilot. Your team can commit shared configurations so everyone has access to the same sandbox endpoints. This MCP capability means your developers do not have to copy-paste mock routing data from external web portals. Your agent generates the necessary banking structures directly in your active workspace.

Build and test ACH pipelines

You can verify your payment pipelines using the `increase_simulate_inbound_ach` tool during debugging sessions. The agent triggers a mock incoming ACH transfer in your sandbox so you can watch your database update. Combine this with `increase_list_accounts` to verify that the simulated funds landed in the correct sub-account ledger. It turns complex integration testing into a simple conversation with your editor.

Run team audits with this MCP Server

The `increase_list_transactions` tool extracts your complete booked financial history directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. Your team can quickly verify payment statuses during code reviews without switching tabs. Because the configuration is committed to your repository, every developer can run identical audit commands. This ensures consistency across your engineering team when verifying transaction states.
