Share Hexomatic workflows in VS Code

Commit an mcp.json file to your repository so every developer on your team uses the same tools. Everyone can use `list_workflows` to see what is available to run. Use `run_workflow` to trigger shared scrapers across your team. It keeps your data collection consistent for every developer working on the project.

Debug automation logs in VS Code

Use `get_execution_logs` to inspect why a shared workflow might be failing. It provides the transparency your team needs to fix issues quickly. Use `get_workflow_details` to check how a recipe is configured. This helps you avoid configuration drift when multiple team members are updating scripts.

Manage team automations in VS Code

Use `list_account_teams` to see who has access to your workflows. It helps you keep track of your organization's setup directly from your editor. Use `update_workflow_status` to ensure your team's background processes are active. You can manage your production scraping tasks without leaving the VS Code window.

Setup guide

Set up Hexomatic 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.

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.

Verify the connection

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