What is the 15Five MCP Server?
Transform your team’s engagement and performance with 15Five, the holistic performance management platform now accessible through your AI agent. By bridging 15Five with the Model Context Protocol, you turn employee check-ins and objective tracking into a seamless conversation. Your agent can help you celebrate wins with High Fives, monitor team sentiment via Pulse scores, and audit OKRs without you ever leaving your primary workspace. It’s the ultimate tool for managers who want to stay connected to their team’s heartbeat while focusing on strategic growth.
What you can do
- Check-ins & Feedback — Retrieve recent check-ins, view employee answers, and monitor pulse scores to gauge team sentiment.
- High Fives & Recognition — List received high fives or send new ones to celebrate team wins and boost morale directly from chat.
- Objectives (OKRs) — Track progress on company or individual objectives and key results without manual dashboard lookups.
- User & Team Management — List employees, departments, and groups to maintain organizational clarity.
- Engagement Insights — Quickly access historical performance data and feedback cycles to support meaningful 1-on-1 conversations.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send a High Five through the agent?
Use the send_high_five tool and provide the recipient's email or ID and a recognition message. Your agent will process it immediately and notify the recipient.
Can I see team pulse scores with this integration?
Yes, you can use the list_checkins tool to retrieve check-in data which includes employee pulse scores and sentiment analysis.
Does the agent support managing OKRs?
The agent can list and track progress on objectives using the list_objectives tool, allowing you to monitor goal attainment across your team.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
