How to Use the Follow Up Boss MCP in VS Code Copilot
Give your engineering team direct access to Follow Up Boss leads and deals through a VS Code Copilot MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Follow Up Boss MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Follow Up Boss 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.
Query leads and notes from the editor
The `list_leads` tool retrieves contact directories straight into your chat panel. When a developer needs to debug a specific user issue, Copilot runs `get_lead_details` to pull the exact profile configuration. Team members can review interaction history using `list_person_notes`. If a bug report requires documentation, the agent uses `add_internal_note` to append technical details directly to the CRM record. You test data entry by firing `create_new_lead` with a required name or email.
Automate tasks and track activity
The `list_followup_tasks` endpoint exposes agent workloads so your developers can build custom reporting tools. Copilot generates the API wrapper, then tests it by calling `create_followup_task` to verify the payload structure. Building analytics requires raw interaction logs. Your AI client pulls website behavior via `list_recent_events` and writes custom tracking events using `log_lead_activity`. You also map out schedules by hitting `list_calendar_appointments`.
VS Code Copilot MCP Server deals access
The `list_real_estate_deals` operation fetches live transaction data. Your team writes commission logic while Copilot feeds real closing amounts and deal stages into the test environment. Managing event infrastructure happens without leaving the IDE. The agent queries `list_configured_webhooks` to audit existing triggers before you write new listener functions. This prevents duplicate webhook creation across the engineering team.
