Team-wide hiring tools in VS Code

Stop managing individual API keys for every developer on your team. Use the Fountain MCP server to provide a shared, authorized connection to your hiring data. Commit the config to your repo. Every developer gets access to `list_openings` and other tools without extra setup.

Automate hiring tasks in Copilot Chat

Use Agent mode to manage your recruitment pipeline without leaving the IDE. The AI calls `list_interview_sessions` to help you plan your day. It handles the data retrieval so you can focus on building the features that matter. You get the speed of automation with the control of your editor.

Audit hiring data with VS Code Copilot

Need to check if your hiring goals are being met? Ask your agent to pull current stats using `list_hiring_goals`. The agent processes the data and shows you the trends. You can then use that info to adjust your code or your hiring strategy immediately.

Setup guide

Set up Fountain 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 Fountain 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.
4

Verify the connection

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fountain-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about Fountain MCP in VS Code Copilot

Place an mcp.json file in your .vscode folder. This allows the team to share the server config via Git, keeping everyone synced.

Yes. By using a shared config, your team lead can control which tools are available and ensure everyone follows the same security protocols.

It does. Because the config lives in the repo, every dev on your team can use the same tools to query hiring data.

Vinkius provides a secure, managed environment for your MCP connections. Your data remains protected while you access it through the editor.

The server accesses applicant names and funnel stages when you trigger a tool. This data is handled in memory and never persisted in your codebase.
