Define strict negotiation zones

The `derive_negotiation_surfaces` tool plots out your best and worst alternative outcomes based on hard financial inputs. Your AI client establishes the exact zone of possible agreement before anyone drafts a settlement offer. You get a clear mathematical boundary for your dispute resolution application. The MCP removes the guesswork from setting walk-away figures.

Calculate expected monetary value in VS Code Copilot

Figuring out what a case is actually worth requires `calculate_emv` to process your trial probabilities and estimated costs. You provide the raw legal variables to your agent. A deterministic financial baseline comes back instantly. Your team then builds logic around that exact monetary value without writing the underlying probability algorithms from scratch.

Stress test litigation outcomes with this MCP

Jury behavior is unpredictable, which is exactly why `perform_risk_sensitivity_analysis` runs Monte Carlo simulations on your win probabilities. You ask your agent to model how a ten percent shift in trial confidence impacts the bottom line. Risk tolerance becomes a quantifiable metric rather than a gut feeling. You see exactly how sensitive your settlement targets are to changing legal circumstances.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "settlement-value-estimator-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Settlement Value Estimator MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a configuration file in your project root and commit it to your repository. Every developer pulling the code gets immediate access. Switch the chat to Agent mode to begin.

Opening the user configuration from the command palette sets it up globally. This makes the tools available outside of specific repositories. Most teams prefer the shared project setup for consistency.

You need version 1.96 or higher to use these tools. Older versions lack the necessary agent mode capabilities. Update your editor before configuring the MCP.

It provides uniform mathematical models across your entire engineering department. No one has to guess how to calculate a best alternative to a negotiated agreement. The math is standardized and instantly available.

Your litigation costs and potential damage awards are processed according to your organization setup. Running the MCP locally keeps all financial inputs on your team hardware. We do not inspect your proprietary mediation data.
