How to Use the Formbricks MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Formbricks configuration across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository root and commit it. This MCP Server configuration gives any team member with the latest VS Code Copilot extension immediate access.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot help me debug failing Formbricks webhooks?

Yes, Copilot can call listwebhooks to inspect your active endpoints and find configuration errors. It then compares this with your local server files to find broken paths.

Q: How do I view specific user details using Formbricks in VS Code Copilot?

Ask Copilot to run getperson with the user's ID. It will fetch their attributes and event history, helping you debug targeting issues directly in your workspace.

Q: Can I check survey responses without leaving my code?

Yes, you can use listresponses to pull recent feedback directly into your chat panel. This lets you inspect user complaints while looking at the exact file they are complaining about.

Perplexity

Align team tracking with active Formbricks events

The `list_action_classes` tool lets VS Code Copilot inspect your team's custom event triggers. This keeps your entire engineering team aligned on which user actions trigger surveys. You can commit this MCP Server configuration to your repository so everyone uses the same live event names. When writing telemetry code, your team can ask Copilot to verify if an event exists. This prevents duplicate event creation and keeps your analytics database clean.

Build automated survey workflows in VS Code Copilot

The `create_survey` tool allows developers to scaffold and deploy surveys directly from the VS Code Copilot chat window. Your team can draft survey questions in markdown, and Copilot converts them into valid API payloads. If a survey needs to be retired, running `delete_survey` removes it instantly without opening a browser. Managing surveys through the editor makes it easy to version control your feedback campaigns. You can save your survey payloads as JSON files in your repo and have Copilot deploy them.

Monitor active feedback loops and webhooks

The `list_webhooks` tool gives VS Code Copilot visibility into where your survey feedback is being routed. Developers can verify that production webhooks match local development listeners. This prevents broken pipelines when deploying new feedback-driven features using this MCP Server. When webhooks fire, your team can inspect the data structure using `list_responses`. Copilot parses these responses to help you write accurate backend handlers for incoming data.
