Share recruiting schemas in VS Code Copilot

The `get_contact_details` tool brings structured candidate profiles straight into your shared workspace. By committing the MCP configuration to your repository, every developer on your team can query Crelate data instantly. This shared setup allows VS Code Copilot to generate accurate data-mapping code based on real recruiter notes. Your team avoids schema mismatches because everyone works with the same live database structure.

Audit candidate pipelines during code reviews

The `list_recent_activities` tool pulls live activity logs directly into your VS Code Copilot chat. You can review how your integration logs calls and emails against actual recruiting histories. If a sync script fails, use `get_contact_notes` to inspect the exact state of candidate records. Copilot analyzes these notes inside your editor to pinpoint where your data pipelines are dropping updates.

Map company and job data inside your workspace

The `list_companies` tool fetches your client directory directly into your editor environment. VS Code Copilot uses this list to write clean lookup functions that link candidates to their respective employers. Combine this with `list_jobs` to map open requisitions to active client companies. Copilot helps you build robust data models by referencing your actual Crelate database structure in real-time.
