Connect Zoho CRM Analytics MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Zoho CRM Analytics 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 the full Zoho CRM schema.
Before writing a single line of code, understand the model. Use `zoho_module_fields` to get every field on any module. You'll find the data type (e.g., picklist or date) and validation rules for accurate payload construction. Need to know what modules exist? The `zoho_list_modules` tool lists all available CRM modules, telling you their API support status and visibility.
Map out sales stages precisely.
Understanding the deal flow is key. Run `zoho_list_pipelines` to get a detailed view of every pipeline in Zoho CRM. You retrieve stage names, IDs, and current win probabilities (like Qualification=10%). This allows your team's code to accurately map status changes within the sales cycle.
Get core system configuration details.
Don't rely on assumptions about the account setup. `zoho_org_info` retrieves organizational data—the company name, the Zoho CRM edition (Ultimate or Standard), default timezone, and currency. This ensures your code respects regional settings and license boundaries when making calls.
