Vibe Prospecting runs in Cowork through its MCP connector. Cowork cannot run the vpai CLI, so connect it from the connector store—no GitHub clone, packaging, or command line is required.
Before doing any work, check whether Vibe Prospecting MCP connector tools are in your tool list (look for mcp__*__fetch-entities).
If those tools are present, use them directly.
If those tools are not present, ask Claude to search the connector store for Vibe Prospecting or Explorium, then suggest the official Vibe Prospecting connector:
- If the connector is already installed but disabled for this session, select Use on the connector card.
- Otherwise, select Connect on the connector card to install and authorize it.
Re-check the tool list until mcp__*__fetch-entities appears. Do not start prospecting until the tools appear.
If the suggested card fails, open the connector / integrations UI directly, connect Vibe Prospecting there, and re-check the tool list.
