How to Use the Hudu MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share Hudu configurations with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and commit it to Git. Once your team pulls the latest code, their local Copilot agents can immediately run MCP tools like listassets.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot edit my Hudu procedures?

No, the agent cannot modify any documentation. The listprocedures tool is strictly read-only, preventing any accidental changes to your company runbooks.

Q: Is my client asset documentation secure during team sessions?

Yes, all asset details retrieved via listassets are processed locally on each developer's machine using secure transport. This MCP setup ensures your client documentation remains private.

Share Hudu infrastructure records across your entire team automatically using VS Code Copilot MCP configuration files.

Share network documentation across your team

The `list_networks` tool exposes IP allocations and network maps to your VS Code Copilot environment. By committing the MCP configuration to your repository, every developer on your team instantly accesses the same network definitions. This shared access ensures that nobody writes code against the wrong IP subnets. Your team maintains a consistent understanding of client environments without manual data sharing.

Run team-wide audits with this Hudu MCP Server

The `list_contacts` tool retrieves client stakeholder details directly into the VS Code Copilot chat panel. When a deployment fails, your team's agent identifies the correct technical contacts to notify without leaving the code editor. This setup speeds up incident response for engineering groups. The editor finds the contact information instantly, allowing your team to coordinate remediation efforts without delay.

Verify client domain configurations inside your editor

The `list_websites` tool pulls monitored domain lists directly into the Copilot context. You can ask the editor to verify if a client's public endpoints are active before deploying updates to their hosting environments. Having this information in your workspace prevents broken links and deployment errors. Your agent checks the documented web assets against your local build files to ensure compliance.

Setup guide

Set up Hudu 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.
