Connect MakePlans MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect MakePlans to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Share MakePlans tools in VS Code
Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repo so the whole team uses the same setup. Everyone gets access to `list_bookings` and `list_people` immediately. It removes the friction of manual setup for new developers. Your team stays in sync with the same operational tools.
Manage appointments via VS Code
Use Copilot Chat to handle administrative tasks using `create_booking` or `delete_booking`. It turns your editor into a dashboard for your scheduling system. You keep your context inside the code. There is no need to log into a separate portal to manage daily operations.
Fetch service data in VS Code
The agent pulls details via `get_service` so you know exactly what your users can book. You have the full catalog of your offerings right at your fingertips. It makes it easy to debug issues with service configurations. You check the source of truth without leaving your current workspace.
