Manage BugHerd teams in VS Code Copilot

Automate project creation in VS Code Copilot

Need to spin up a new project? Use `create_project` to initialize your BugHerd workspace directly from the editor. It’s a standard way to ensure every new feature branch starts with a linked project space. Your team can automate the boilerplate setup for new work.

Use `list_tasks` to monitor the backlog for your current sprint. The agent can provide summaries of what needs attention right in the chat panel. This visibility helps the team catch blockers early. You get a clear view of the workload without needing to leave your primary development environment.

Setup guide

Set up BugHerd MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
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.
2

Add the BugHerd MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the BugHerd tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent BugHerd transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "bugherd-alternative-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
