How to Use the Hipsy MCP in VS Code Copilot
Give your VS Code Copilot team instant access to Hipsy event data through a shared MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Hipsy MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hipsy to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-wide access to event APIs
The `check_hipsy_status` and `list_past_events` tools let your entire engineering team query historical ticketing data directly from their editor. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant read access to the nightlife platform without needing separate API keys. When a junior engineer needs to understand how past festivals were structured, their AI client just pulls the records. They can ask Copilot to explain the data model based on actual past events instead of bothering a senior developer.
Build financial tools via this MCP Server
Using `list_orders_by_event` and `get_event_revenue`, this MCP Server feeds transactional data straight into your workspace. If your team is building a custom accounting export for a venue, Copilot fetches the raw order lists to generate the exact CSV parsing logic required. You skip the manual API testing phase entirely. The agent runs the query, grabs the revenue breakdown, and writes the aggregation functions using the real dollar amounts and ticket fees.
Develop faster door entry apps
The `list_attendees` and `list_scans` tools give Copilot the context it needs to help you build offline-first scanning apps. Your agent pulls the current check-in logs to analyze how the API paginates large crowds at a busy festival gate. This lets your team optimize database queries for local caching. Copilot sees the exact volume of scan entries and suggests indexing strategies to prevent bottlenecks when cellular networks drop at the venue.
