How to Use the HeySummit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the HeySummit MCP configuration with our team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server details there and commit the file to your Git repository. Every team member who pulls the repo will have the tools configured automatically.

Q: What's the difference between a user and project-level MCP setup?

A project-level setup (.vscode/mcp.json) is shared with your team via Git. A user-level setup (in your user settings) is only for you and applies to all your projects.

Give your whole team access to your HeySummit data right inside VS Code Copilot.

Share Event Context Across Your Team

Commit the `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository. Now, every developer on the team can ask Copilot to `list_events` or `get_talk` and get the same, up-to-date information from HeySummit. It eliminates the need to pass around API keys or point people to stale documentation. Your agent becomes the single source of truth for your event schedule and content.

Write Automated Reporting Scripts

Your marketing team needs a daily registration report. Use Copilot to write a script that calls `list_attendees` and formats the output into a CSV. The agent knows the exact data structure. Because the MCP server connects to your live data, the script Copilot generates is already debugged against the real HeySummit API. You can hook it into a cron job and move on.

Standardize Your Dev Environment

Onboard new developers faster. With the shared MCP configuration, they can start building integrations immediately without any setup friction. They don't need to ask for keys or endpoints. They can ask the agent to `get_speaker` or `list_tickets` to understand the data structures they need to work with. It cuts down ramp-up time and ensures everyone is building against the same contract.

Setup guide

Set up HeySummit 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 HeySummit 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.

Verify the connection

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