Add the Apollo.io MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

code --add-mcp '{"name":"apollo","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp"}'

Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) MCP config guide

VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Apollo.io is hosted by Apollo.io, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Apollo.io can do. Prospect people and companies, enrich leads, query sales analytics and load contacts into Apollo.io sequences. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

• · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
• · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.

How do I add the Apollo.io MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Run: code --add-mcp '{"name":"apollo","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp"}'. VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server.

Is this the official Apollo.io MCP server?

Yes. It is published by Apollo.io as io.github.apolloio/apollo-mcp in the official MCP registry.

Does the Apollo.io MCP server need an API key?

It is a hosted server. Most hosted servers sign you in with OAuth the first time VS Code (GitHub Copilot) uses them; check Apollo.io's docs for any plan or permission requirements.
