How to Use the HID Origo MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How does my team get access to HID Origo in VS Code Copilot?

You create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project's repository. Add the HID Origo server details from Vinkius to this file and commit it. Every developer who pulls the repo will automatically have the tools available in Copilot.

Q: Is it possible to see a list of all mobile identities issued by HID Origo using VS Code Copilot?

It is. Tell Copilot to use the listmobileidentities tool. It will return a full list of every mobile credential, including its status, which you can then use in your code or analysis.

Q: Can I get a list of physical cards, not just mobile credentials, with HID Origo and VS Code Copilot?

You can. The listphysicalcredentials tool is included. You can ask Copilot to fetch all physical cards and fobs to get a complete picture of all credentials managed in the system.

Manage your team's HID Origo access control system from within VS Code using GitHub Copilot.

Perplexity

Automate Credential Management as a Team

Use `create_enrollment_invitation` to let Copilot handle mobile credential provisioning. Since you configure the MCP server in `.vscode/mcp.json` and commit it, your whole team gets access to the same tools instantly. A developer can now ask Copilot to "draft a script to onboard a new user," and it will use `list_identity_users` to find them and `create_enrollment_invitation` to send the invite. It's a shared, repeatable workflow for your entire engineering org.

Run Security Audits from VS Code

The `get_audit_log_events` tool lets anyone on your team query the HID Origo security log. There's no need to give everyone admin access to the web portal just so they can check something. Ask Copilot to "find all failed login attempts from the last 24 hours" and it will call the tool and give you the raw data. This is great for DevOps teams building internal security tooling or for developers troubleshooting access issues.

Map Access Policies with your MCP Server

The `list_identity_groups` and `list_access_readers` tools give Copilot full context on your physical security setup. You can ask it to generate documentation or a configuration map showing which groups have access to which doors. This is about more than just getting a list. You can have Copilot write tests that assert certain users from `get_user_details` should or should not be in a specific access group. It turns your HID Origo config into something you can validate with code.

Setup guide

Set up HID Origo 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.
