Create your Vinkius account to connect Firefish to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Sync your team to Firefish in VS Code Copilot
Commit your mcp.json to the repo to give your whole team access to `list_candidates` and `list_jobs`. Everyone works from the same set of tools. This ensures your team follows the same processes. It removes the need for manual setup on every developer's machine.
Automate data retrieval in VS Code Copilot
Use `list_contacts` to find key people and `list_actions` to track project progress. Your team can query your CRM without leaving the editor. It keeps your workflow uninterrupted. You stay in the code while the agent handles the data lookup.
Deploy recruitment logic via MCP Server
Use `create_candidate` or `list_placements` as part of your development lifecycle. You can build features that interact with your CRM right in your main project. It changes how you build. You aren't just writing code; you are building features that perform real-world recruitment tasks.
