How to Use the FanPower (PickUp) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team share the FanPower (PickUp) MCP Server configuration in VS Code Copilot?

Add the server settings to a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it. Every developer using VS Code Copilot on your project will automatically inherit the 12 fan engagement tools through this shared MCP setup.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me debug leaderboard queries using FanPower (PickUp)?

Yes, your agent can call getleaderboard to fetch active fan rankings. This allows VS Code Copilot to analyze the payload and help you write fast sorting algorithms for your scoreboard UI.

Q: How do I fetch live sports questions using FanPower (PickUp) in VS Code Copilot?

You can access tools like listquestions through your Copilot Chat in Agent mode, which uses the active MCP connection to pull live data. You can then ask the agent to filter these questions by specific sports events.

Q: How do I inspect a specific fan's engagement history?

Ask your agent to call getfanprofile with the target fan's ID. Copilot will retrieve their profile details, allowing you to trace their participation metrics directly in your workspace.

Q: How secure is the fan leaderboard data processed by this integration?

All calls to getleaderboard are protected by enterprise-grade SOC 2 compliance. The Vinkius runtime isolates all data transactions, ensuring fan rankings and engagement scores remain strictly within your authorized team environment.

Perplexity

Share FanPower (PickUp) tools across your entire team

`get_me` verifies your API connection parameters directly inside the VS Code Copilot interface. By committing the server configuration to your repository, every developer on your team gets instant access to the same tools. This eliminates the need for individual API playground setups. It's a massive timesaver for onboarding your developers, who can immediately use `list_fans` to inspect user lists together.

Build real-time sports features with this MCP Server

`list_events` fetches live sports and esports schedules directly into VS Code Copilot. Your agent uses this schedule data to help you write event-driven code that triggers at kickoff. To connect these events to fan interactions, the agent uses `list_questions` to pull relevant polls. This lets your team build highly contextual features that react to live game states.

Analyze fan predictions during your coding sessions

`list_picks` retrieves live answers from your fan base to help you build analytics dashboards. VS Code Copilot reads these payloads to suggest the best data visualization structures. When you need to drill down into a specific prediction, your agent calls `get_pick_details`. This puts real-world fan data right at your fingertips while you write your reporting queries.
