Add the server to your .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your repository. This ensures everyone on your team uses the same tools in their IDE.

Team-wide analytics in VS Code

Commit your tracking configuration to the repo via `.vscode/mcp.json`. Every developer on your team gets instant access to `track_event` and `identify_user` for consistent implementation. This removes the friction of manual setup. Your team stays aligned on the exact event payloads being sent to production.

Automate profile management in VS Code

Maintain your user data model with code-level precision. Use `add_user_properties` to update account details as you build new features in your IDE. You can also use `bulk_add_user_properties` for database migrations that require syncing existing records. It makes bulk updates a trivial task.

Auditing Heap events in VS Code

Verify your project's event definitions without leaving your workspace. Call `get_event_definitions` to ensure your code matches the schema stored in your analytics platform. It saves you from looking up docs in the browser. You get the exact property names and types you need right in your editor sidebar.

Setup guide

Set up Heap 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 Heap 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 Heap tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Heap transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
