Shared team tools via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `list_contacts` tool lets your development team query FirstQuadrant lead records directly inside VS Code Copilot. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer gets instant access to search FirstQuadrant leads and run validations. This shared setup means anyone on the team can ask VS Code Copilot to inspect lead schemas or verify custom fields using `list_properties_schema` without setting up individual API keys.

Run lead research from your code editor

The `enrich_contact_ai` tool triggers background profile research on any FirstQuadrant contact directly from the VS Code Copilot chat window. You can immediately pull the updated profile using `get_contact_details` to verify the enrichment results inside your active VS Code Copilot session. Verifying that your data enrichment pipelines are working properly before deploying your FirstQuadrant outbound scripts from VS Code Copilot to production is highly recommended.

Sequence management inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_campaigns` tool retrieves your active outreach tracks inside VS Code Copilot so you can manage FirstQuadrant campaigns without leaving your development environment. Quickly view active sequences and use `add_to_campaign` to enroll leads. Check the status of recent outreach by calling `list_activities` to see which contacts have replied or opened emails. This keeps your FirstQuadrant pipeline visible directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token
