Commit your `mcp.json` file to your repository to share tool access with the whole team. Every dev gets the same `list_fundraising_campaigns` capabilities instantly.

Build team-wide fundraising tools in VS Code Copilot

Create shared workflows that query donation activity. Use `get_activity_feed` to monitor how your latest code changes affect real-world campaign engagement. Your team can now collaborate on backend tasks that actually touch your fundraising data. It makes building and maintaining your platform faster and more reliable.

Pull live organization settings to ensure your code matches your production environment. `list_classy_organizations` gives you the context you need to verify system-wide settings. This puts production context right in the hands of your developers. You catch configuration errors early by comparing your code against the live Classy.org state.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Classy.org MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server config to the `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your repo. Once committed, every team member gets access to the same set of tools.

Yes, you can configure the server globally through the MCP user settings. This allows you to use these tools in any project you open in your editor.
