Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Activepieces MCP Server?
Connect your Activepieces account to any AI agent to orchestrate complex automations and monitor your business workflows through natural language.
What you can do
- Flow Management — List, create, retrieve, and delete automation flows within your projects using
list_flowsandcreate_flow. - Execution Monitoring — Track flow runs, check statuses, and inspect detailed step results for debugging with
list_flow_runsandget_flow_run. - App Connections — Manage credentials and connections for external services like Slack, Discord, or Google Sheets via
list_app_connections. - Flow Operations — Apply structural changes or status updates to existing flows programmatically using
apply_flow_operation. - Organization — List and manage folders to keep your automation workspace tidy with
list_folders.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Activepieces API Key
- Start orchestrating your automations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual checking of execution logs or switching tabs to enable/disable flows. Your AI acts as a dedicated automation engineer.
Who is this for?
- DevOps & Automation Engineers — monitor flow health and trigger updates directly from the terminal or chat.
- Product Operations — manage app connections and verify data consistency across automated workflows.
- Marketing Teams — check the status of lead-gen flows and ensure integrations are running smoothly.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Activepieces data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 32 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Why teams choose Vinkius for Activepieces in VS Code Copilot
The Activepieces MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 32 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in VS Code Copilot only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Activepieces for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the Activepieces MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check why a specific flow execution failed?
Yes. Use the get_flow_run tool with the Run ID to retrieve detailed execution data, including step results and error messages.
How do I update the status of an existing flow?
You can use the apply_flow_operation tool. It allows you to send an operation payload to change the flow's status or modify its structure.
Can I see which external apps are connected to my project?
Yes, the list_app_connections tool retrieves all credentials and connections configured for a specific Project ID.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
