Sync Close data across VS Code Copilot

The `list_close_pipelines` tool lets every developer see the exact same sales stages. Enterprise teams need consistent data access when building internal sales tools, and committing your MCP configuration guarantees it. A junior dev can ask Copilot to map out the sales funnel, and the AI grabs the exact same stages the senior engineers see. Everyone builds against the same reality.

Generate types from real leads

Your agent executes `get_lead_details` against a real prospect to generate accurate TypeScript interfaces. Manually typing out CRM responses wastes time and introduces errors. Copilot reads the returned JSON and writes strict interfaces that account for all your custom fields. You get perfect type safety without ever opening the API documentation.

Build task views with this MCP Server

The `list_close_tasks` tool pulls actual pending calls and emails into your editor. Creating custom views for sales reps requires knowing exactly how reminders are structured. Your AI uses that live payload to scaffold UI components that render the tasks correctly. You build the frontend faster because the agent already understands the backend data shape.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Common questions about Close MCP in VS Code Copilot

You add the Vinkius URL to your repository's `.vscode/mcp.json` file. Once pushed, any developer on your team with VS Code 1.96 or higher can access the tools.

The current toolset is strictly read-only. Your developers can pull structure using `list_close_pipelines`, but they cannot accidentally delete or alter your sales stages.

You ask the chat interface to verify your user status. The agent triggers `get_my_close_profile` and returns your authenticated user details directly in the sidebar.

Postman requires context switching and manual copying. This integration lets the AI fetch data via `list_close_opportunities` and immediately write code based on the response.

Your prospect names and deal sizes never sit on our servers. The V8 Isolate MCP sandbox processes the API request, hands the data back to your IDE, and immediately shuts down.
