Team-wide CRM access in VS Code

Enterprise sales teams rely on custom internal dashboards. Your developers need to build those dashboards using real communication history. By committing your configuration to the repository, every developer gets instant access to `list_interactions`. Copilot can pull chronological logs of synced emails and calls to help engineers write accurate data visualization components.

Standardize pipelines with this MCP Server

Different engineers often hardcode different assumptions about your deal stages. You fix that by giving everyone the same live data source. Copilot uses `list_smart_lists` to grab the authoritative catalog of custom pipelines from your account. It then calls `list_list_entries` to show exactly which entities belong where, ensuring your internal tools match reality.

Map networks to code

Writing synchronization scripts between your CRM and other systems is tedious. You need to know the exact data structure of a contact. The agent triggers `list_persons` and `list_organizations` to fetch paginated lists of people and companies. It uses those real responses to generate the mapping logic, right there in your editor.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Affinity MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server configuration to your repository's .vscode/mcp.json file. Once committed, every engineer on the project automatically gets access to the tools.

Yes. Engineers can ask the agent to fetch recent emails and meetings to understand the data schema before writing integration code.

You do. That release introduced the necessary agent mode capabilities to route requests to external tools.

It fits perfectly. The setup relies on a single Vinkius MCP endpoint token managed by IT, avoiding the need for individual developers to handle API keys.

Your organization profiles and mapped institutions pass through an ephemeral V8 Isolate. The sandbox executes the query and terminates. No persistent storage touches your CRM records.
