Query Hostfully from VS Code Copilot

The `list_properties` tool gives your whole engineering team direct access to your vacation rental inventory. You commit the MCP server config to your repository, and everyone can query the API. Copilot uses `get_property` to inspect specific listings without anyone needing Postman. This standardizes how your team interacts with the API. A new developer joins, opens Copilot, and runs `list_agencies` to see the business structure. The AI client handles the API calls, keeping everyone focused on writing code.

Inspect Leads and Bookings

The `list_leads` tool lets Copilot pull real booking data to test your application logic. If a developer needs to fix a bug in the reservation flow, they ask Copilot to run `get_lead` on the problematic booking ID. The agent returns the exact state of that record. Building guest portals gets significantly faster. Copilot runs `list_guests` to see the actual data structure Hostfully returns. It then generates the exact TypeScript interfaces required to handle that specific payload.

Audit Endpoints via MCP Server

The `list_webhooks` tool allows Copilot to verify your event routing. When a developer asks why a booking notification failed, the agent checks the configured webhooks directly. It spots misconfigured URLs instantly. The same applies to operational scripts. Copilot uses `list_owners` and `list_service_providers` to pull real contacts when building payout or scheduling tools. The AI tests the logic against actual account data.

Setup guide

Set up Hostfully 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.

Common questions about Hostfully MCP in VS Code Copilot

Add the configuration to your `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Every developer who pulls the repo will automatically get access to the Hostfully tools in Copilot.

You need VS Code version 1.96 or higher, an active Copilot subscription, and a valid Hostfully API key.

Yes. Copilot can use the `list_webhooks` tool to audit your current event subscriptions. It reads the active endpoints so you can debug integration failures.

The Hostfully architecture isolates data by agency. Tools checking properties or leads require the agency UID to locate the correct database partition.

The MCP server processes owner names and contact info locally or via your managed endpoint. Vinkius isolates the execution in a hardened V8 sandbox. The data routes directly to Copilot and never persists in a secondary database.
