Deploy Lago configs via VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repo so the whole team uses the same tools. This ensures everyone has access to `create_plan` and `create_billable_metric` without custom setup. Standardization prevents configuration drift. Every developer on the team works against the same billing schema.

Audit billing state in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_invoices` and `get_subscription` within Copilot Chat to debug billing issues. It’s easier than navigating a web console when you're already deep in the code. The agent provides the context you need to resolve bugs faster. It turns a manual investigation into a simple chat command.

Manage wallets with VS Code Copilot

Call `create_wallet` to set up prepaid credits for your customers. This is essential for testing credit-based usage models before you push to production. Keep your billing setup consistent across environments. The agent handles the API calls so you can focus on the logic.

Setup guide

Set up Lago 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 Lago 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 Lago tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Lago transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
