Connect RocketReach to GitHub Copilot CLI

Bring RocketReach's people and company data into GitHub Copilot CLI by adding the RocketReach MCP server with one command and signing in.


Requirements

  • A RocketReach account (free or paid plan)
  • GitHub Copilot access

Copilot Business and Enterprise: An owner must turn on the MCP servers in Copilot policy for your organization or enterprise.


Steps to Connect

1. Add the RocketReach MCP server

Run this command in your terminal:

copilot mcp add --transport http rocketreach https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp

Other ways to add it:

  • Run /mcp add inside Copilot CLI and choose HTTP.
  • Add the URL https://mcp.rocketreach.co/mcp to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json.

2. Sign in and approve access

When prompted, sign in to your RocketReach account and approve access.

3. Test the connection

Start Copilot CLI:

copilot

Then ask:

What RocketReach tools do you have?

If Copilot lists the RocketReach tools, you're all set.
