Connect Workable MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Workable 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.
Query candidate data across projects
Need to check who's available? The `list_all_candidates` tool pulls everyone into your codebase context, letting every developer access the same pool of talent. This is great for auditing or bulk reporting. Since this configuration lives in `.vscode/mcp.json`, it ensures that every person on your team gets the exact same tooling setup automatically.
Get detailed job specs via MCP Server
When building a hiring portal, developers can use `get_job_details` to pull all the required specifications for a role. This data feeds directly into UI components or validation scripts. It keeps your team consistent: everyone uses the same Workable endpoint to fetch job requirements and structure their code around it.
Map out hiring team roles
Build a user management module that needs to know who's involved? `list_account_members` gives your developers a clean, structured list of the entire hiring committee. This prevents accidental access or misconfigurations. This shared tooling makes onboarding new engineers easier because they just pull the updated repo configuration.
