Share Culture Amp Tools in VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server lets VS Code Copilot run `list_employees` and `list_organizational_groups` using a shared project configuration. By committing `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository, every developer on your team instantly gets access to the same directory tools. This setup eliminates individual API configuration headaches. Your team can debug directory integrations and check team structures using unified, shared environment variables.

Query Survey Metadata Directly in VS Code Copilot

Your team uses `list_engagement_surveys` and `get_survey_details` to pull live feedback metrics directly into Copilot Chat. It lets you inspect active survey configurations without leaving your active workspace. If you are building data pipelines, Copilot queries `list_demographic_fields` to verify the exact reporting segments. You write code against live API schemas instead of outdated documentation.

Automate Record Creation and Account Audits

The server executes `create_employee_record` and `list_cultureamp_accounts` to let VS Code Copilot handle direct directory updates. You can run quick audits on your account scopes right from the terminal panel. It calls `list_analytics_datasets` to verify which reporting tables are ready for extraction. Your team can build and test ETL scripts using live data sources.

Setup guide

Set up Culture Amp 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 Culture Amp 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.

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 Culture Amp tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Culture Amp transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
