GitHub Copilot

One-click install.

Click the button below, confirm in VS Code. Works with Copilot Chat in VS Code, JetBrains, Visual Studio, Xcode, and the Copilot CLI — they all share the same MCP config.

Step 01

Click to install in VS Code.

Add to VS Code →

mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "bankbridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code opens the MCP install dialog with BankBridge pre-filled. Flip Copilot to Agent mode (not Ask/Edit) so tools are available. Not signed in? Swap the placeholder with a real key from your dashboard.

Step 02

Verify it works.

In any Copilot Chat (Agent mode), ask:

try this

how much did I spend this week?

Copilot picks up the list_transactionstool automatically. If it says no tools available, check you’re in Agent mode.

Enterprise deployments

Copilot Enterprise admins can block custom MCP servers via org policy. If BankBridge doesn’t show up, your org may have restricted it. Ask your admin to allowlist bankbridge.money.

Troubleshooting

Tool calls don't fire.

You're probably in Ask/Edit mode, not Agent mode.

Fix: Toggle to Agent mode in the Copilot Chat composer.

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

Fix: Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with `Bearer ` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

Fix: Paste a fresh key from Settings.

403 Forbidden.

Your BankBridge subscription is inactive (canceled or past-due), or your account has no connected banks.

Fix: Visit Settings to confirm your subscription is active.

Tools return a NO_CONNECTIONS warning.

You haven't linked a bank yet.

Fix: Visit Connect a bank — the bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
