Team-wide Marqeta access in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repo so every developer on your team uses the same tools. It removes the friction of manual configuration and ensures everyone is working with the same version of the platform interface. This keeps your team aligned. When someone needs to test a new `create_auth_control` rule, they don't need to ask for setup instructions; it's already there.

Manage card products as a team

Use Copilot to call `create_card_product` or `create_business` directly from the chat. It acts as a shared interface for your entire engineering group, making it easy to replicate environments. Your infrastructure stays consistent. Since the tools are shared, your team builds code that works against the same API configurations every single time.

Validate payments with the team

Run shared simulation tests using `simulate_clearing` or `simulate_reversal`. Everyone on the team sees the same results, which makes debugging complex payment issues a collaborative task rather than a solo hunt. It builds trust in your code. By testing against live sandbox responses, you ensure that your team's code is ready for the real world before you ever deploy.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marqeta-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Marqeta MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Once committed, your whole team can access the Marqeta tools through Copilot Chat.

The server runs as a local process. It respects your organization's security and compliance requirements while providing the tools your team needs.

It uses your provided credentials to authenticate. No sensitive data is stored by the client; it only passes through during the execution of your requested tools.

The server touches cardholder identifiers, transaction metadata, and funding source tokens. Access is limited to the specific tools you call during your session.
