Query team structures in VS Code Copilot

The ChartHop MCP Server feeds live organizational data straight into your editor. Copilot uses `list_organization_teams` and `list_organization_departments` to pull accurate team hierarchies while you build internal applications. You never have to guess which department owns a specific project. Getting a macro view of the company is simple. The `get_organization_summary` tool grabs the top-level settings and headcount totals. Your agent uses this context to write better integration logic for your company-wide tools.

Fetch employee records instantly

Writing features that rely on user profiles requires knowing the exact data shape. Copilot calls `list_organization_people` to grab real employee lists, letting you test your UI against actual names and titles. You stop relying on generic placeholder data. Drilling down into a specific profile works just as well. Invoking `get_person_details` returns the full reporting structure and job history for a single person. The AI client formats this raw data into whatever interface you are currently coding.

Read headcount planning scenarios

Developers building recruiting dashboards need visibility into future hiring. Your agent pulls active financial models from the MCP Server using `list_planning_scenarios` to show you approved headcount. This keeps your internal tools synced with the HR department's actual plans. Current job listings and their specific requirements are also available. Copilot runs `list_organization_jobs` and `get_job_details` to fetch active roles. You get the exact parameters needed to build job board integrations or internal referral systems.

Setup guide

Set up ChartHop 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

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.
