How to Use the Tally MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I list all Tally forms using VS Code Copilot?

You ask Copilot Chat to run listforms. It executes the call, and the resulting form array is immediately available for you to reference in your code.

Q: Can I audit a specific Tally submission record with VS Code Copilot?

Yes. You prompt it to use getsubmission along with the required IDs. The full data payload appears right there, making it easy for you to debug your services.

Q: What is the process if I need to delete a Tally submission?

You simply tell Copilot Chat to run deletesubmission. It handles the API call and returns a clear success or failure message that you can commit to your logs.

Q: Does VS Code Copilot help me map out Tally workspaces?

Absolutely. Running listworkspaces gives you an immediate inventory of all Tally environments, preventing developers from accidentally targeting the wrong department's data.

Audit form structure across the engineering team.

Team members can automatically call `list_forms` to see a unified view of all available Tally forms. This is great for ensuring consistent data schemas before development starts. Need the details on one specific field? Use `get_form` and commit the resulting schema object to your project files.

Process submission data in a team workflow.

Developers can use Copilot Chat to run `list_submissions`, gathering all recent responses into one view. This allows the whole team to assess the volume and nature of incoming data quickly. You then grab specific records using `get_submission` so that individual components or services can process them reliably.

Define Tally integration points in code.

The agent lets you define boundaries by calling `list_workspaces`. This ensures every developer knows which departmental workspace they are currently targeting. It also provides your user context via `get_me`, ensuring that the service uses the correct team credentials when making API calls.

Setup guide

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