Connect ZoomInfo to VS Code
Give VS Code governed access to ZoomInfo’s 24 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add ZoomInfo to VS Code in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in VS Code then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve ZoomInfo in Runlayer
Add ZoomInfo from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect VS Code to Runlayer
Runlayer’s CLI installs the Runlayer Plugin natively in VS Code; users can also add it over MCP. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, ZoomInfo’s 24 tools show up in VS Code’s own tool list (VS Code 1.103 or newer).

Runlayer can deny a tool call before VS Code runs it.
