Deploy the Kylas MCP Server globally

Solo developers can hack together scripts, but real engineering teams need shared context. By committing a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository, every developer gets instant access to the CRM tools. No one wastes time hunting down API keys or documentation. When a new engineer needs to build a reporting feature, they open Copilot Chat in Agent mode. The agent immediately knows how to call `list_leads` or `list_deals`. The whole team builds against the same live Indian SMB sales data.

Audit CRM data in the editor

Debugging a broken webhook integration usually means digging through server logs. Instead, ask Copilot to inspect the specific record. It runs `get_lead` to pull the exact JSON payload currently sitting in the database. You can also audit broader account issues. If sales reps complain about missing information, tell the agent to run `list_contacts` and `list_tasks`. It retrieves the raw data, allowing you to spot formatting errors or missing fields immediately.

Prototype data ingestion

Building a new lead capture form requires testing the ingestion pipeline. You skip external API tools entirely. Instruct Copilot to format a test payload and execute `create_lead`. It pushes the record directly to the CRM. The same applies to address book imports. The agent can take a CSV file, parse the rows, and use `create_contact` to load them into the system. You verify the integration works before writing the final production code.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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