Connect Lusha MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Lusha to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide enrichment in VS Code
Share your prospecting logic by committing the server config to your repo. Every team member can then use `enrich_person_info` to grab consistent data for their specific tasks. This ensures everyone is working with the same verified source. By using `bulk_enrich_companies`, you can standardize how your team gathers firmographics for account-based projects.
Headless prospecting with Copilot
Your agent can now help you build lists of prospects on demand. By running `prospect_new_leads` in your chat, you can identify potential customers without leaving your workspace. It’s a clean way to scale your reach. Using `get_person_by_linkedin` returns verified profiles that your team can use to fuel your outreach pipeline effectively.
Monitor Lusha credits organizationally
Keep your team's API usage in check with shared tools. Use `get_credit_balance` to audit your remaining credits and prevent any unexpected service interruptions. Detailed tracking is available via `get_usage_stats`. This helps your lead developers and managers monitor how much data your team is pulling from the platform on a daily basis.
