Install Rowfield Data in VS Code
What you need first
- VS Code, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and VS Code connects to it.
Steps
- In your project, create
.vscode/mcp.json, or open it. For every project, run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette instead. - Add this block. If the file already has
servers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"servers": {
"rowfield-data-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=founder-experiment/civicplus-job-postings,founder-experiment/k12-school-district-jobs-applitrack,founder-experiment/california-state-jobs-calcareers,founder-experiment/new-york-state-jobs-statejobsny,founder-experiment/wisconsin-state-government-jobs,founder-experiment/us-state-government-jobs,founder-experiment/canada-provincial-government-jobs,founder-experiment/manitoba-government-jobs,founder-experiment/victoria-government-jobs-careers-vic,founder-experiment/latvia-public-sector-vacancies,founder-experiment/civicplus-bid-postings,founder-experiment/eu-ted-tenders-scraper,founder-experiment/federal-register-documents-scraper,founder-experiment/sitemap-url-extractor,founder-experiment/website-logo-extractor,founder-experiment/nvd-cve-scraper,founder-experiment/saashub-alternatives-scraper,founder-experiment/empire-flippers-listings,founder-experiment/usgs-earthquake-catalog,founder-experiment/link-preview-open-graph-api"
}
}
}- Save the file and choose Start above the server's entry, or run MCP: List Servers. Its tools appear in Copilot Chat's agent mode.
Check it worked
Ask VS Code: List the tools of rowfield-data-mcp.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when VS Code asks.
- Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
