Sync OKRs with VS Code Copilot

`list_objectives` imports your company goals straight into your editor chat. Copilot reads the actual targets so you can write architecture docs that map to business priorities. Checking team status requires `list_checkins`. The AI fetches recent weekly updates, letting you see what blockers your engineers reported without switching to a browser.

Praise teammates from your editor

`send_high_five` dispatches public recognition via a simple prompt. You merge a massive pull request and tell Copilot to send a quick thank-you to the reviewer. Keeping up with company wins takes seconds. Running `list_high_fives` pulls the latest recognition feed into your sidebar so you stay connected to the broader engineering org.

Search the directory via MCP Server

`list_users` gives Copilot access to your active employee directory. The agent searches for identifiers to ensure it references the correct person when querying other endpoints. Mapping out team boundaries falls to `list_departments`. Your AI client reads the member rosters to understand how the platform team relates to the product organization.

Setup guide

Set up 15Five 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 15Five 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the 15Five tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent 15Five transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
