Standardize billing workflows in VS Code

Commit your tools configuration to your repository to keep the team in sync. When everyone uses the same `list_invoices` and `get_client` tools, you stop wasting time on inconsistent API calls. This setup ensures that junior and senior devs have the same access to production data. It removes the friction of manual onboarding for billing-related tasks.

Create invoices directly from VS Code

The `create_invoice` tool allows you to generate billing records without switching contexts. It's useful for testing how your application handles different invoice states. Simply ask your agent to create a record, and it handles the API interaction. You get a confirmation response immediately, confirming the operation succeeded.

Query your product catalog in VS Code

Your team needs accurate pricing data when building features. Use `list_products` to pull the latest entries into the chat, ensuring your UI components reflect your current offerings. If a product is missing, `create_product` lets you update your catalog from the editor. It's a faster way to keep your dev environment current with your business needs.

Setup guide

Set up Invoice Ninja 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 Invoice Ninja 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.
4

Verify the connection

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

    "invoice-ninja-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
