Query CRM data inside VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server connects your engineering workflow to your company relationship data. You ask Copilot to debug a sync issue, and it runs `get_contact_details` to fetch the problematic record instantly. Investigating missing touchpoints takes seconds. The agent executes `list_interactions` to pull the raw history and compares it against your database logs without leaving the editor.

Map internal tools to live segments

Building internal admin panels requires accurate group mapping. Copilot triggers `list_groups` to read the current CRM segmentation and generates the corresponding dropdown menus in your code. Populating those views happens automatically. The agent calls `list_contacts` with specific group IDs to fill your local development environment with real sales and recruiting pipelines.

Scaffold CRM write functions

Writing webhook handlers is faster when the AI tests the endpoint for you. Copilot uses `create_contact` to validate that your data transformation logic maps correctly to the CRM schema. Reading historical context helps format new entries. The agent runs `list_contact_notes` to analyze existing structures, ensuring your new integration writes perfectly formatted summaries.

Setup guide

Set up folk 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 folk 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.
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.

Verify the connection

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

Common questions about folk MCP in VS Code Copilot

Commit a .vscode/mcp.json file to your repository. Every developer on your team automatically gets access to the CRM tools when they pull the repo.

It pushes data if you ask it to. Developers use this to verify their API integration code actually creates the intended records in the CRM.

No. The Vinkius managed endpoint handles the authentication centrally. Your team uses a single endpoint token to access the server.
