Perplexity

Team-wide prospecting in VS Code Copilot

Standardize your outreach workflow across the entire engineering team. By sharing the mcp.json config, every dev gets access to `search_people` and `enrich_company` tools immediately. It removes the setup headache for new hires. Everyone uses the same verified tools to build and score their prospect lists.

Validation workflows with email tools

Ensure your team sends emails that actually land. Use `verify_email` and `lookup_email` to build a gatekeeper into your automated pipelines. Bad data kills delivery rates. This gives your team a shared way to scrub lists before they ever hit your CRM or mailing service.

Automated signal tracking

Keep everyone aligned on market changes using `find_job_changes`. Your team can track account movements and respond with personalized outreach in real-time. You control the logic centrally. When the market shifts, your team's code reacts to the new signals automatically.

Setup guide

Set up Persana AI 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 Persana AI 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.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Persana AI tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Persana AI transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
