How to Use the Hookdeck MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I install the Hookdeck MCP Server in Claude Code?

Run the claude mcp add command with the HTTP transport flags. Claude Code saves this to your global config, making all 52 webhook tools available in your terminal.

Q: Can I delete connections that are no longer needed?

Yes, you can tell the agent to run deleteconnection or deletesource. This permanently removes the configuration from your workspace to keep things tidy.

Pipe Hookdeck MCP Server tools directly into your CLI workflow to manage webhook routing and retries from the terminal.

Control event routing from Claude Code

The Hookdeck MCP Server turns Claude Code into a headless command center for your event-driven infrastructure. You can query your entire webhook topology by running `list_connections` and `list_sources` directly from your shell prompt. This eliminates the need to context-switch to a browser during an active incident. When you need to spin up a new environment, the agent executes `create_source` and `create_connection` instantly. It outputs the clean JSON payloads, allowing you to pipe the results directly into other terminal utilities or configuration files.

Bulk retry and debug webhook failures

Resolving bulk webhook drops during an outage is highly efficient when managed through CLI-based automation. Claude Code scans for failed deliveries by executing `list_attempts` with specific status filters. It isolates the exact event IDs that timed out or returned error codes. To fix the backlog, the agent triggers `retry_event` or `retry_request` on the filtered list. If you need to stop scheduled retries for a specific set of events to prevent log spam, Claude Code calls `cancel_event` across the target IDs.

Monitor queue depth and latency metrics

Keeping tabs on ingestion pipelines requires immediate access to raw queue statistics. This toolset lets you query `get_metrics_queue_depth` to check if your downstream workers are keeping up with incoming traffic spikes. You see the queue size in real time without loading heavy monitoring dashboards. To analyze transformation bottlenecks, the agent runs `get_metrics_transformations` to pull execution latency. It correlates this data with `get_metrics_requests` to ensure your global ingestion rates stay within safe operational limits.

Setup guide

Set up Hookdeck MCP in Claude Code

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Run the add command

Common questions about Hookdeck MCP in Claude Code

Run the `claude mcp add` command with the HTTP transport flags. Claude Code saves this to your global config, making all 52 webhook tools available in your terminal.

Yes, you can instruct the terminal agent to find all failed attempts from the last hour using `list_attempts` and run `retry_event` on each one automatically.

Ask the agent to check your current ingestion rates. It runs `get_metrics_requests` and `get_metrics_attempts` to output clean performance statistics directly in your shell.

Yes, you can tell the agent to run `delete_connection` or `delete_source`. This permanently removes the configuration from your workspace to keep things tidy.

Your webhook payload bodies and API tokens are never stored by the CLI client. The Vinkius runtime executes all operations in an ephemeral sandbox, securing your transit metadata and ensuring zero persistent data exposure.
