Commit NeonCRM tools to your team repo in VS Code Copilot

The `list_accounts` tool becomes instantly available to your entire engineering team when you add this MCP server to your repository. VS Code Copilot reads the shared config file, giving every developer immediate access to account queries. Team members use `get_account` to debug profile sync issues together. Having the same toolset across the team eliminates the 'works on my machine' problem when working with CRM data.

Debug donor directories from the editor

The `list_contacts` tool retrieves active donor records directly inside VS Code Copilot. Developers can inspect contact payloads to verify field mapping without opening an external API client. For membership portals, `list_memberships` pulls current tiers and expiration dates. Your Copilot agent uses this live data to verify that your authentication logic handles expired accounts correctly.

Verify event schedules and active grants

The `list_crm_events` tool pulls scheduled non-profit events directly into your VS Code Copilot workspace. Your agent uses `get_crm_event` to inspect specific event details, making it easy to test calendar components. When building grant trackers, `list_grants` provides the raw funding records. Copilot uses these live arrays to help you write accurate filtering functions for your dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up NeonCRM 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.

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.
