Sync networking contacts inside VS Code Copilot

Managing contact databases shouldn't be a solo chore. By adding this MCP Server to your shared workspace, your entire team can fetch lead lists using `list_leads` directly from the chat panel. When you write internal tools to process new signups, let your agent call `create_lead` to verify the pipeline. You can even check your classification system by running `list_tags` to ensure clean data entry.

Track NFC interaction data using this MCP Server

Building a custom analytics dashboard is simpler when you don't have to guess the schema. This MCP Server lets your agent run `get_analytics_summary` to pull real-time interaction metrics right into your editor. You can easily inspect how specific physical cards are performing by querying `get_card_details` or debugging click-through rates with `get_click_analytics`. No more manual API calls during development.

Edit team directories using VS Code Copilot

Keep your corporate contact cards accurate without leaving your coding workspace. VS Code Copilot can pull your current team roster using `list_company_members` to verify directory listings. When a team member changes roles, let your agent run `update_profile` to push the changes live instantly. You can also verify your billing and rate limits by calling `get_account_settings` directly.

Setup guide

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