List Skalin Accounts for Team Review

The `list_cs_accounts` tool lets the entire engineering team view a list of all customer accounts right from within their IDE. This means everyone works off the same, shared source of truth. You can then use `list_account_contacts` to pull down associated contacts for inclusion in a feature branch's testing suite.

Manage Success Tasks with Copilot Chat

The team needs visibility into who owns what. The `list_success_managers` tool quickly lists all active CSM users, while `update_cs_task` lets the agent modify task ownership or status. This keeps the workflow clean. This capability is vital for onboarding new developers to Skalin's internal processes.

Audit Alerts and System Status

System stability is non-negotiable. Use `list_cs_alerts` to pull a list of active alerts, helping you prioritize fixes across the team. Also, check system health using `get_api_status` before any major deployment. This ensures that every developer knows if they're dealing with an upstream service issue or actual code failure.

Setup guide

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

The server manages critical operational data: account records, user roles, system alerts, and contact details. It covers the entire administrative layer of Skalin.

Way better. Instead of reading static docs, your agent executes live calls to tools like `get_account_health`, giving you real-time data that changes minute by minute.

It touches account contacts. The server provides the ability to list, retrieve, and manage all associated people linked to a client's core account.
