What is the Hookdeck MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent to orchestrate your webhook infrastructure through natural conversation. Hookdeck provides the reliability layer for your event-driven architecture, and this server puts that power in your chat interface.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route webhooks from sources to destinations.
- Traffic Control — Instantly pause or resume event routing for specific connections to manage maintenance windows or outages.
- Source Monitoring — Retrieve and count your webhook sources to understand where your incoming data originates.
- Lifecycle Operations — Enable or disable connections and manage their rules via JSON payloads without leaving your workflow.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific metadata for any connection or source using unique IDs to debug routing issues.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability layer from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly toggle webhook traffic or check connection statuses during deployments.
- DevOps Teams — monitor the health of event-driven pipelines and manage sources programmatically.
- Integration Specialists — verify routing rules and connection counts across different environments.

Frequently asked questions
How can I temporarily stop webhooks from being delivered to a destination?
You can use the pause_connection tool with the specific Connection ID. This will halt event routing until you call unpause_connection.
Can I see how many active sources I have configured?
Yes, use the count_sources tool to get the total number of sources, or list_sources to see the details of each one.
Is it possible to update connection rules through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the update_connection tool by providing the Connection ID and a JSON body containing the new configuration rules.
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.
