Standardize compliance workflows in VS Code Copilot

Commit a shared configuration file to your repository so every developer can query `list_licenses` and `list_companies` through VS Code Copilot without manual setup. Your team can write features using live compliance data, ensuring that every piece of code respects the legal boundaries of your active cannabis licenses.

Test retail integrations with this MCP Server

This MCP Server pulls live stock levels using `list_inventory` and records sales with `list_b2c_transactions` directly inside VS Code Copilot. Your developers can simulate transaction failures or tax calculation errors inside the editor. This prevents compliance errors from hitting your production dispensary environment.

Automate cultivation tracking from your editor

Have VS Code Copilot query `list_plants` and `list_varieties` to understand how your facility tracks growth stages. The agent can help you write code that automatically moves plants between facility rooms using data from `list_sections`, keeping your database perfectly synced with state requirements.

Setup guide

Set up OpenTHC MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

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.
2

Add the OpenTHC MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the OpenTHC tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent OpenTHC transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
