Team-wide Hiver tools in VS Code

Commit the MCP config to your repo to give every developer access to Hiver tools. Use `list_shared_inboxes` to see the same support queues. Everyone stays on the same page. When a ticket comes in, the whole team can investigate it without leaving the editor.

Read Hiver threads in Copilot Chat

Use `get_conversation_details` to bring the customer's email into Copilot. It helps you find the root cause of a bug faster. Stop asking for ticket screenshots. You have the full history right in front of you.

Organize Hiver tags in VS Code

Use `list_inbox_tags` to see how your team categorizes incoming requests. It helps you filter your view to only show relevant issues. It brings your helpdesk workflow into your IDE. You can see the tags and the thread status in one view.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hiver-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Hiver MCP in VS Code Copilot

Yes, by adding the MCP server to your .vscode/mcp.json file. This allows your team to interact with shared inboxes directly from the Copilot chat window.

Since you manage the config in your repo, you control access. It fits right into your existing development environment and security standards.

You provide the Hiver API token through your environment settings. The server uses this to authenticate, keeping your credentials out of your shared config files.

The tools only pull data from Hiver when you initiate a request. Your email content is processed locally within the editor's memory space.

No. The server acts as a pass-through to the Hiver API. Once the conversation ends, the transient data from your threads is cleared from the agent's context.
