Standardize Every.org tools in VS Code

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repo so your whole team uses the same `search_nonprofits` and `get_nonprofit` tools. This removes the configuration headache for every new hire. Your team stays consistent because the tool definitions are shared. Everyone has access to the same `get_featured` data without extra setup.

Manage fundraisers as a team

Use `list_fundraisers` to see what your organization has active. You can coordinate your development efforts by pulling real-time data on every project. Every developer can use `get_fundraiser` to debug issues. This creates a shared source of truth for your charitable integrations.

Monitor API health in VS Code

Add a health check step to your workflow using `check_everyorg_status`. It helps your team identify issues before they impact your development cycle. This tool ensures that your local environment matches your staging setup. If the status returns an error, your team knows immediately that the issue lies with the API.

Setup guide

Set up Every.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

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.

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Every.org tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Every.org transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
