How to Use the Fulcrum MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot query Fulcrum data with SQL?

It can. The agent uses queryrecordssql to execute raw queries against your datasets, which is perfect for testing dashboard metrics before writing the final code.

Q: How do I find a specific Fulcrum form ID in VS Code Copilot?

Just ask your agent. It will run listdataforms to retrieve the names and IDs of every active app in your workspace.

Q: Will the server help me debug my Fulcrum webhook integration?

Yes. You can ask Copilot to trigger listwebhooks to see your active endpoints. It helps you verify if your local dev tunnel is actually registered.

Give your entire engineering team access to live Fulcrum field data directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Perplexity

Discover Field Data Schemas

The `get_form_schema` tool pulls the exact structure of your data collection apps directly into your editor. You never have to leave VS Code to check if a specific inspection form uses a string or an integer for its status field. Copilot uses `list_data_forms` to find the right ID, then grabs sample data with `list_field_records`. This means your agent writes data-fetching logic based on actual production constraints, rather than outdated wiki pages.

Test Queries via Fulcrum MCP Server

Running `query_records_sql` lets you test complex aggregations against your field records before hardcoding them into your application. You just ask Copilot to find the average completion time for a specific form, and it runs the math. When building write-paths, `create_record` lets you inject test data straight from the chat panel. You can then verify the exact metadata footprint using `get_record_details` to ensure your backend will parse it correctly.

Audit Webhooks and Team Access

The `list_webhooks` tool reveals exactly which external services are listening to your field data events. If you are debugging a missing notification, Copilot can check the current routing rules instantly. You can also verify user permissions with `list_organization_members` and `list_member_roles`. Before starting any major integration, a quick `check_api_status` guarantees your shared configuration is authenticating properly.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json
