How to Use the Jibble MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I configure Jibble for my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and add the Jibble configuration. When your team pulls the latest commit, VS Code Copilot will automatically load the MCP Server for everyone.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot edit my Jibble time logs?

No, this server only provides read-access tools like gettimeentry and listtimeentries. It is designed for auditing, querying, and reporting without accidental data modification.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle Jibble project mappings?

It calls listprojects to match your repository names with your official Jibble project codes. This helps developers select the correct tracking codes during their shifts.

Q: How does this MCP Server protect our Jibble user emails and time logs?

All queries to listpeople and time logs are routed through a zero-trust, isolated V8 sandbox. Your credentials are encrypted at rest, and no personal data is cached or used for model training.

Share Jibble tools with your entire engineering team inside VS Code Copilot.

Standardize team tracking via this MCP Server

`list_projects` provides your development team with direct access to active project codes right inside VS Code Copilot. Developers can check where to log their hours without leaving their workspaces. This stops time allocation errors before they reach payroll. To verify which tasks are billable, the server uses `list_activities` to display approved tasks like development, testing, or design. Your developers always know which category to select. This keeps your internal metrics consistent across the entire engineering department.

Audit payroll and contractor hours

`list_time_entries` allows team leads to audit contractor hours directly in the chat panel. You can check daily or weekly durations without opening external HR portals. The active voice of the MCP Server returns raw, unfiltered time logs instantly. To verify who logged those hours, `get_person` retrieves the full profile of the associated developer. You can match git commit logs against actual clocked hours to ensure billing accuracy. This simplifies contractor management and keeps your budgets on track.

Manage global team locations and groups

`list_locations` maps out where your remote or on-site teams are checking in from. If you manage hybrid engineering teams, this tool helps verify site compliance. Your agent can quickly highlight entries that do not match expected coordinates. Group-based tracking is handled by `list_groups` to segment your team by department or project squad. This is useful for running sprint-based labor cost reports. You get clean, organized data to present to your finance team.
