Connect vCita MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect vCita 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.
Team Booking Management with MCP Server
The whole team can use `list_scheduled_appointments` to view availability. Need to book someone? The shared config allows everyone to call `create_new_booking` and log it instantly. If a booking falls through, `cancel_appointment` handles the cleanup for all developers. It's perfect for engineering teams building client-facing tools that require real-time scheduling data.
Centralized Client Roster Access
Don't have individual developer access issues. The team can pull customer lists using `list_crm_clients` via the committed MCP configuration. Individual client profiles are retrievable with `get_client_details`. You also need to know what services are offered, which you get from `list_offered_services`. This ensures everyone is working off the same single source of truth for client data.
Automated Financial Reporting
Build reporting features that pull financial data directly into your code. Developers can use `list_client_invoices` to list outstanding bills. They also get payment history by calling `list_recorded_payments`. This makes billing logic consistent across the entire codebase. Remember that checking the current status with `get_api_status` is a necessary step before running any financial query.
