…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect WorkflowMax MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect WorkflowMax 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.
Centralized Job Management
The `list_jobs` tool lets every developer see a consistent list of active projects. This data is committed to the repo, so everyone sees the same thing. You can use `get_job` to pull all necessary details for a specific project ID. It's part of the team standard set up via this MCP Server.
Client and Contact Setup
Set up new clients using `create_client`, which accepts company or individual names. When you need to log a specific person, use `create_client_contact` with the client's UUID. This setup ensures all developers work off the same, accurate source of truth for who works where.
Time Tracking and Auditing
Need to record time? Run `create_timesheet` by providing a job UUID, task UUID, and hours. This writes directly into your project's data. Alternatively, you can use `list_tasks` to ensure the service unit IDs are correct before creating any timesheets.
