How to Use the HubSpot Operations Hub MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can we check our active HubSpot automations from VS Code?

Yes. Just ask Copilot Chat to run hslistworkflows. It will return a list of your workflows, their type, and whether they are currently active, so you can audit your automations without leaving your editor.

Q: How do I find the ID for a specific deal pipeline stage?

Ask Copilot to use the hslistallpipelines tool. It provides the display names and internal IDs for every stage in your pipelines, which you'll need for any code that moves deals through your sales process.

Give your entire team shared access to HubSpot Operations Hub data directly inside VS Code Copilot.

Standardize HubSpot Tools for Your Whole Team

Add this MCP Server to your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it. Now, every developer on your team gets the same set of tools for interacting with HubSpot, right inside VS Code. No more one-off scripts or inconsistent environments. When a developer asks Copilot a question about your HubSpot setup, it uses tools like `hs_list_workflows` and `hs_list_all_pipelines` to give answers based on your team's actual configuration. It creates a single source of truth for everyone.

Plan and Build with Your Team's MCP Server

Before adding a new feature that touches HubSpot, your team can use Copilot to inspect the current state. Use `hs_list_properties` to check existing fields on a contact or deal object to prevent creating duplicates. This is a crucial step for maintaining a clean CRM. When you're ready to add a field, use `hs_list_property_groups` to find the right UI section, then have Copilot use `hs_create_property` to make the change. Because the whole team shares the same MCP server config, your processes stay consistent.

Audit Ownership and Permissions in Code

Need to build a feature based on user roles or team membership in HubSpot? Your agent can call `hs_list_owners` to get a fresh list of every user, their active status, and team details. This is essential for building custom assignment logic or reporting tools. This isn't a static data export. It's a live query your agent runs when you ask. You get the real-time state of user access, ensuring the code you write is based on current permissions, not an outdated spreadsheet.

Yes. Just ask Copilot Chat to run `hs_list_workflows`. It will return a list of your workflows, their type, and whether they are currently active, so you can audit your automations without leaving your editor.

It cannot view or modify the content of your CRM records. Authentication is handled via your Vinkius endpoint token, which isolates access to these specific tools.
