Standardized Timeero access

Configure your team's environment by adding this MCP Server to your shared `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Everyone gets access to `list_timeero_users` and `check_timeero_status` immediately. This ensures every developer is working with the same tool definitions. It removes the guesswork from building internal company tools.

Automated task and job tracking

Let your team query job details with `list_timeero_jobs` and `get_timeero_job`. They can also pull specific task information using `list_timeero_tasks` or `get_timeero_task`. Your agent uses these tools to keep documentation and code in sync. It tracks what needs to be done based on the live API status.

Efficient timesheet management

Pull logs for your entire team using `list_timeero_timesheets` or `list_timeero_schedules`. When you need to investigate a specific entry, use `get_timeero_timesheet` or `get_timeero_schedule`. This gives your team the power to run audits without leaving VS Code. It turns manual data checks into automated, repeatable scripts.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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