Perplexity

Shared N26 Banking context for teams

By committing your config to `.vscode/mcp.json`, your whole team gets access to `get_n26_accounts` for live balances. Copilot reads the data and writes code based on the current state. Nobody has to distribute API keys manually. The MCP Server handles the connection, letting developers ask questions about account structures right in the chat panel. You get consistent answers across the entire engineering department.

Analyze transactions in the editor

You ask Copilot to pull the latest purchases, and it fires `get_n26_transactions` directly in the editor. The agent drops the raw JSON directly into your workspace. You can highlight a block of code and ask the AI to map the transaction fields to your database schema. It sees the exact timestamps and merchant IDs provided by the bank. The resulting code actually compiles and works.

Access sub-accounts instantly

Copilot solves sub-account testing by calling `get_n26_spaces` to fetch your real vault balances. It injects those figures into your unit tests automatically. This setup keeps your developers focused. They do not have to hunt for documentation to understand how the bank structures these spaces. The MCP Server reads the live response and the AI formats the exact types you need.

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.
