Standardize form schemas across your team

The `get_form` tool fetches live form definitions to keep your team's local integrations perfectly aligned. By committing the MCP configuration to your repo, all developers using VS Code Copilot can query the exact same form fields. Combined with `list_forms`, your team avoids mismatching form IDs during collaborative sprints. Your team's assistant inspects the active forms directly to ensure your codebase stays in sync with your marketing team's updates.

Automate webhook setups inside VS Code Copilot

The `create_webhook` tool lets your engineering team automate the linking of webhooks during local development. Instead of sharing API keys or manually configuring endpoints, this MCP Server registers the correct URLs during your debugging sessions. Your team can use `list_webhooks` to audit which endpoints are listening to specific forms. This prevents duplicate webhooks from cluttering your staging environments.

Query form submissions for collaborative debugging

The `list_submissions` tool displays recent form entries directly inside your shared terminal or chat window. This allows your team to diagnose integration bugs using real data without leaving the editor. With `get_submission`, your developers can isolate specific edge cases that caused processing errors. You will shorten the feedback loop when testing custom data-ingestion pipelines.

Setup guide

Set up Paperform 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 Paperform 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 Paperform tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Paperform transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paperform-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
