How to Use the Parsio MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Parsio MCP Server config in VS Code Copilot?

Save the server configuration to .vscode/mcp.json in your repository root. When team members open the project in VS Code 1.96+ with Copilot, the 12 MCP tools are automatically registered for everyone.

Q: How does VS Code Copilot handle async PDF extraction?

Copilot calls extractdatafromfileasync to process large PDF files in the background. It tracks the status using getparseddocumentresult and alerts you in the chat panel once the final structured data is ready.

Q: Can we list our active Parsio templates inside VS Code Copilot?

Yes, the agent runs listmailboxtemplates to display all templates configured for a specific mailbox. This helps your team quickly identify which template ID to target in your local application code.

Team-Wide Document Parsing in VS Code Copilot

`extract_data_from_file_sync` and `extract_data_from_text_sync` run directly inside your shared terminal environment via Copilot. By committing the server config to your repository, every developer on your team parses test PDFs and raw emails without manual setup. This standardizes how your engineering team tests document ingestion. Developers use Copilot Chat to verify that the extraction engine handles edge-case invoices exactly like production does.

Manage Extraction Targets from the Chat Panel

`create_mailbox` and `get_mailbox` allow you to set up and verify testing environments inside VS Code Copilot. When onboarding a new client document format, spawn a dedicated test mailbox directly from the chat interface. It keeps your workspace clean. Check any mailbox's configuration without leaving your editor or context-switching to a browser.

Verify Delivery Webhooks in Your Codebase

`list_mailbox_webhooks` lets VS Code Copilot inspect your active webhook destinations. Your agent compares these URLs against your local server configuration to make sure your local webhooks match Parsio's delivery targets. This eliminates webhook routing errors during development. Copilot checks the active hooks and warns you if your local development tunnel URL is missing from the Parsio console.

Setup guide

Set up Parsio 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 Parsio 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.

Verify the connection

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