Can I test money flows safely without losing real funds?

Absolutely. Increase has a top-tier sandbox environment. In your MCP settings, pass a Sandbox API Key (starting with `sk_test_`) and optionally set the environment to 'sandbox'. We even implemented literal tool overrides like `increase_simulate_inbound_ach` which are intentionally restricted exclusively to simulating inbound events on your test environment.

Does adding a new account via the Agent require paperwork?

No! Assuming your global LLC has already passed initial onboarding and your Entity object handles compliance, any subsequent programmatic calls to `increase_create_account` yield a fully compliant sub-ledger and associated numbers instantaneously contextually within the UI chat responses.

What is the difference between ACH and Wire transfer arrays here?

ACH acts through clearing houses taking normally 1-3 business days suited perfectly for non-urgent vendor mass payouts (`create_ach`). Wire transfers (`create_wire`) tie directly to Fedwire routing logic hitting banks internally within minutes - often bearing a slight static fee. Dictate which the bot should invoke based on liquidity needs.

How can I trace a specific payment?

We've added `increase_list_transactions` to handle historical booked transfers strictly by ID limits, exposing whether money cleared Fed limits safely.

About Increase MCP Server

The Increase MCP Server connects AI to a physical, fully compliant commercial US bank built explicitly top-down for programmatic transactions.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Increase data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

What you can do

Endless Provisioning — Instantly generate new live bank accounts increase_create_account acting as sub-ledgers, enabling separate balances.
Open Payment Rails — Need to inject funds into a supplier directly using native American payment streams? Use increase_create_ach or sweep high-value overnight increase_create_wire securely.
Simulation Environment — Use Sandbox arrays to trigger simulated money hits increase_simulate_inbound_ach checking if an external agent script validates receiving deposits before going to production.

The Increase MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Increase + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Increase MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
