What is the Column MCP Server?

The Column MCP Server effectively bypasses standard FinTech wrappers and ties your artificial intelligence directly to one of the only nationally chartered US banks built originally around raw Developer APIs.

What you can do

Automated Clearing — Use column_create_ach_transfer to reliably settle recurring vendor payouts directly out of your native balance without relying on external UI web panels.
Establish Corporate Entities — Hook your conversational bots to construct KYC/KYB verified operational clusters column_create_entity ready to map against newly minted bank account numbers (column_create_bank_account).
Physical Check Writing — Astonishing API feature: send literal paper checks natively out to US addresses. Formulate text like "Mail a $40 check to John's address in Texas for maintenance" and the column_create_check prints and bounds the ledger payload directly.

How it works

Sign up onto the Column Bank developer web-app.
In your security setup, obtain your developer API Key token string which doubles inherently as basic auth credentials internally.
Integrate the token strictly into the application parameters right here inside the MCP interface.

Who is this for?

Hardcore FinOps — Handle heavy capital movement routing arrays entirely via deterministic Agent actions scaling limitlessly.
Property / Payroll Managers — Rapidly push independent paper checks leveraging address endpoints via chat interfaces.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is 'column_create_check' actually sending out physical US Mail?

Yes! Column natively operates check printing infrastructure lockboxes. By providing a proper US Address in your chat interface to column_create_check, Column mechanically generates the cheque deducting the amount initially and mails it sequentially. It is incredibly useful for archaic landlord payouts and contractor duties.

How are Webhooks handled in the AI interaction space?

With column_list_webhooks, you give your AI agent deep systemic oversight over what automated routing endpoints are configured to hear back clearance metrics. An AI could check if an engineer correctly connected your primary SaaS billing app to Column's wire settlements.

Does Column authentication require extensive mTLS configurations as well?

No, US Banking BaaS endpoints standardly utilize simpler Auth mappings than LATAM. Column simply relies on Basic Authentication mapping natively your standard alphanumeric API KEY which the framework seamlessly encodes securely for you under the hood.

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.
