What is the Basin MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire lead capture workflow with Basin, the powerful form backend for modern websites. By connecting Basin to your agent, you transform static submission data into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly audit new form entries, identify and flag spam, retrieve specific lead details, and even manually refire webhooks without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you're managing a single contact page or a complex lead generation network, your agent acts as a real-time submission manager, ensuring your inbound data is always clean and actionable.
What you can do
- Submission Management — List all form submissions across your account or dive deep into specific entry details via natural language.
- Spam Control — Instantly mark suspicious entries as spam or unmark false positives to maintain a high-quality lead database.
- Form Oversight — List all forms in your Basin account and retrieve detailed metadata for each to map your data collection points.
- Webhook Triggers — Manually refire webhooks for specific submissions to ensure your downstream integrations are correctly updated.
- Real-time Auditing — Retrieve the single latest submission instantly to respond to new leads with zero delay.

Frequently asked questions
How can I check the latest lead that submitted a form?
Use the get_latest_submission tool. It automatically retrieves the single most recent entry across all your forms, allowing you to respond instantly.
Can the agent filter out spam submissions?
Yes. Use the mark_as_spam tool with a Submission ID to flag suspicious entries. You can also use mark_as_not_spam to restore entries that were incorrectly flagged.
Is it possible to re-send data to my CRM if it failed?
Yes. Use the refire_webhooks tool by providing the Submission ID. This manually triggers any webhooks associated with that form, ensuring your external integrations receive the data.
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.
