Perplexity

Standardize Freshsales workflows in VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo so your whole team uses the same tool definitions. Everyone gets access to `list_leads` and `list_deals` without manual setup. It keeps the team aligned on the same data sources. No more 'works on my machine' issues when you're building out your sales stack.

Query Freshsales contacts with Copilot

Ask your agent to find specific prospects using `get_contact`. It pulls the data directly into your chat, allowing you to debug integration issues with real records. You avoid the back-and-forth of switching windows. It makes your development process faster by keeping the CRM context right where you write code.

Manage your sales tasks in VS Code

Use `list_tasks` to see what is on your plate for the day. You can ask your agent to prioritize your coding tasks based on your upcoming sales deadlines. It bridges the gap between your engineering tickets and your sales activities. You get a unified view of what needs to happen next.

Setup guide

Set up Freshsales 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 Freshsales 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 Freshsales tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Freshsales transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

Common questions about Freshsales MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the server to a shared .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository. Every dev on your team will have access to the same CRM tools.

Once the server is configured, switch to Agent mode in Copilot Chat. You can then ask questions about your leads, deals, or contacts.

These tools are designed for interactive use within the editor. They are perfect for testing your integration logic during development.

Credentials are managed through your local config. The MCP Server ensures that only your authorized VS Code sessions can trigger API calls.

Your data is never logged or stored by the server. It only flows from Freshsales to your active VS Code instance during your specific requests.
