Control your workspace with the Activepieces MCP Server

The `list_flows` tool connects your VS Code environment to your active workspace automations. This MCP Server lets your team list active workspace flows using `list_flows` and view specific configurations with `get_flow` from the shared chat interface. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer instantly gets access to these tools. It removes the friction of onboarding new engineers to your automation stack.

Scale projects and manage team access

The `create_project` tool spins up isolated environments for different clients or departments. You can manage team access instantly using `invite_user` and audit current memberships with `list_project_members`. This keeps your environments clean and secure. Your team handles provisioning directly inside VS Code, avoiding manual invitations in the browser UI.

Review execution logs during development

The `list_flow_runs` tool pulls execution history directly into your VS Code chat. When a deployment fails, you run `get_flow_run` to inspect the exact payload and isolate the failing step. You do not need to leave your editor to debug broken webhooks. The agent parses the logs and helps you fix the issue in your local code immediately.

Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
