Access lead intelligence via VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server turns your code editor into a command center for marketing data. You ask Copilot to check a recent site visitor, and it fires off `identify_company_by_ip` to return the exact enterprise name and details. Teams building internal sales tools need real data to test against. Instead of logging into a separate portal, your agent pulls `get_lead_details` right into your VS Code terminal. You see the raw firmographics immediately and build your features around them.

Monitor account usage and workflows

Keeping tabs on your API limits is now a chat command away. Copilot runs `get_usage_stats` to tell you exactly how many calls your team has left for the month. Understanding your marketing automation state is just as simple. The AI client executes `list_workflows` to map out your active routing rules. Developers can see exactly what happens to a lead before writing a single line of integration code.

Sync segments and industries globally

Hardcoding market categories leads to broken syncs. Your agent pulls the source of truth by running `list_segments` and `list_industries` directly from your account. You can then ask Copilot to generate the TypeScript interfaces for these exact responses. By grabbing the active `list_leads` payload, the editor writes type-safe code based on the real data your marketing team is actually using.

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.
