What is the ClearBank MCP Server?

The ClearBank MCP Server wraps incredibly defensive digital signatures (RSA-SHA256 PEM) autonomously underneath a native Language Model Chat interface. Meaning, your AI has programmatic limits to fire secure European and British payment rails on command natively.

Core Functionality

Virtual Account Provisioning — Manage deeply nested multi-layered B2B structures. Automatically provision Sort-Code ledgers via clearbank_create_account.
Payment Initiation (FPS & CHAPS) — Run automated payroll or contractor compensation using direct clearing paths via clearbank_create_faster_payment.
Algorithmic Tracing — Check real-time payment states organically utilizing clearbank_get_payment_status.

How it works

From your ClearBank Institution interface, spawn your API Profile and export a standard RSA .pem private key.
Vinkius natively utilizes the CLEARBANK_PRIVATE_KEY constructing Cryptographic Hashes generating RSA Digital Signatures implicitly on every Chat-driven Tool call to authenticate accurately with clearing servers.

Use Cases

Baas Platforms — Direct integration validating funds exactly when needed under FPS limits.
Treasury Automation — Have the Agent review your high-volume clearing state.

—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

ClearBank requires complex Body RSA Signatures, how does the prompt handle that?

We handle that completely in the background Engine! The Vinkius runtime grabs your static RSA Private Key from configurations. Every payload created by the Language Model is injected into the Hash, signed, base64 encoded and attached to the HTTP header automatically.

Can the AI Agent manage BACS/CHAPS limits inside ClearBank?

Yes! The core tools natively target both low-latency FPS (Faster Payments) and massive-liquidity CHAPS protocols natively exposed via ClearBank clearing ledgers.

Are Virtual Accounts actively provisioned by the Agent?

The tool clearbank_create_account pushes an instant request spinning up a routing footprint with its own independent balance ledgers.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
