to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect Pylon to VS Code Copilot and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Pylon MCP Server?
Connect your Pylon CRM (getpylon.com) account to any AI agent and take full control of your customer support and post-sales orchestration through natural conversation. Pylon provides a specialized platform for managing B2B relationships directly within shared channels like Slack and Microsoft Teams, and this integration allows you to retrieve issue metadata, manage account profiles, and search knowledge bases directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Issue & Ticket Orchestration — List all managed support issues and retrieve detailed metadata, including creating new issues programmatically.
- Account & Contact Control — Access and monitor your customer accounts and retrieve profile metadata via natural language to maintain a clear overview of your client base.
- Conversation Intelligence — Retrieve and analyze message threads within specific issues to understand customer intent and provide synthesized summaries.
- Knowledge Base Integration — Access and search through your organization's knowledge bases to find relevant documentation directly from the AI interface.
- Operational Monitoring — Track organization-wide support health and manage custom field metadata using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Pylon API Token from your dashboard settings
3. Start managing your customer support from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual issue tracking or switching between support channels. Your AI acts as a dedicated support specialist or customer success lead.
Who is this for?
- Customer Success Managers — quickly retrieve issue summaries and monitor account health without switching apps.
- B2B Support Teams — automate the retrieval of message history and reply to issues via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of account metadata and monitor organizational support performance directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the latest messages for a specific support issue?
Yes! Use the get_issue_messages tool with the Issue ID. Your agent will respond with the complete metadata for the conversation thread, including sender details and timestamps in seconds.
How do I find my Pylon API Token?
Log in to your Pylon dashboard, navigate to Settings > API (or app.getpylon.com/settings/api), and you will find or generate your unique secret token there.
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.
