Standardize Howspace access in VS Code

Commit your .vscode/mcp.json to your repository so every team member uses the same tool definitions. This ensures consistent `list_workspaces` and `get_workspace` calls across your org. It removes the headache of individual configuration. Your team works from a single source of truth for all learning environments.

Automate Howspace admin in VS Code

Use `add_participant` to onboard new users as part of your standard team setup tasks. Your developers can run these commands directly from their editor. This keeps admin actions tied to code changes. Use `list_participants` to audit access rights during your routine code reviews.

Track Howspace campaigns in VS Code

Monitor current initiatives using `list_campaigns` to keep your development work synchronized with business goals. Your agent provides summaries of active efforts. Use `create_workspace` to generate new environments for specific feature testing. It makes your development process highly iterative and tightly integrated with your learning platform.

Setup guide

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