How to Use the Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share the Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server setup in VS Code Copilot?

Add the server configuration to .vscode/mcp.json and commit it to your Git repository. Every team member with VS Code Copilot will instantly get access to the tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot analyze our Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) feedback widgets?

Yes. Copilot uses listfeedback to retrieve raw user complaints. It can then search your workspace for the files responsible for those specific features.

You run them directly through the Copilot chat panel using listsurveys and getsurvey. The agent handles the API calls and displays the results in your sidebar.

Team-wide UX debugging in VS Code Copilot

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server integrates directly with your team's workspace config via `list_sites` and `list_funnels`. Every developer on your team can query conversion funnels without leaving the editor. Copilot uses this shared access to trace drop-offs back to specific code commits. It identifies which code changes altered the funnel steps and caused conversion drops.

Map layout bugs using actual click heatmaps

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server pulls visual layout issues into your workspace using `get_heatmap` and `list_heatmaps`. Copilot reads the exact coordinates of rage clicks to identify broken UI components. Instead of guessing why a button fails, the agent looks at the heatmap data. It points to the exact line of code in your active file that blocks the click event.

Connect user recordings to local workspace files

The Hotjar (Behavior Analytics) MCP Server lets Copilot analyze user sessions using `list_recordings` and `list_feedback`. You get a direct line from raw user frustration to your local workspace files. The agent parses the session metadata to identify layout issues. It then highlights the corresponding HTML or React components that need to be redesigned.
