Standardize Formilla access in VS Code Copilot

Commit your server config to the repo so everyone on your team uses the same tools. Use `list_contacts` to get consistent data across all developer environments. This approach avoids configuration drift. Every team member can query the same records and debug issues with identical context.

Use this MCP Server for team-wide chat logs

The agent can fetch shared conversation history with `list_conversations`. This is useful when your team needs to review support tickets during a codebase audit. It makes collaborative debugging easier. You see the same customer issues the support team deals with every day.

Check connectivity with the Formilla MCP Server

Run `check_formilla_status` to ensure your integration is live. It gives you a clear yes or no on whether your team can access the platform. This prevents wasted time on broken connections. It is a quick way to verify that your environment is ready to handle CRM data.

Setup guide

Set up Formilla 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.

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.
