Visual Studio Code

Configure Zoho CRM MCP servers in VS Code using automatic or manual setup.

Automatic Configuration

Login to your Zoho CRM and go to Setup > Developer Hub > MCP for AI Agents.
Select the required MCP server from the list and click VS Code as the AI tool.
Click the Install MCP Server in VS Code button.
VS Code opens with the selected server details. Click Install.
In the pop-up that appears, click Allow to authenticate your Zoho CRM organization.
This will prompt you to open the authentication URL in your browser (or copy and paste it) to complete authentication.

Open the Command Palette with ⌘ Shift P (on macOS) / Ctrl Shift P (on Windows/Linux) and search for MCP: Open User Configuration.
Copy and paste the following into the .vscode/mcp.json file:
{
  "servers": {
    "zoho-crm-data-insights": {
      "url": "https://zoho-crm-data-insights-60065097786.zohomcp.in/mcp/d17dfe13292e0414a929516bb8f8e797/message",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
{
  "servers": {
    "zoho-crm-data-operations": {
      "url": "https://zoho-crm-data-operations-60065097786.zohomcp.in/mcp/fe46ddbc48fec3713c8754cea8ec9ac5/message",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
{
  "servers": {
    "zoho-crm-module-customisation": {
      "url": "https://zoho-crm-module-customization-60065097786.zohomcp.in/mcp/8057776f5d548a33b892c533d4278d17/message",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
{
  "servers": {
    "zoho-crm-automation": {
      "url": "https://zoho-crm-automation-60065097786.zohomcp.in/mcp/c139be028c224f75a9077e6473a62f3b/message",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}
If the file already has other servers, merge this into the existing servers object.
The type must be set to http for streamable HTTP transport.
Save the file and reload the VS Code window. To reload the window, open the command palette and run Developer: Reload Window.
Click Start Server to authenticate your CRM organization.
