What is the Hookdeck (Webhook Gateway) MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent and take full control of your webhook gateway and event-driven architecture through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route events from sources to destinations with specific rules.
- Operational Control — Instantly pause, unpause, enable, or disable connections to handle maintenance or traffic spikes without touching code.
- Source Monitoring — Manage your webhook sources, retrieve their configurations, and monitor the flow of incoming events.
- Infrastructure Auditing — Count active connections and sources to get a high-level overview of your integration health.
- Lifecycle Actions — Delete or update existing infrastructure components as your project requirements evolve.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between dashboards to pause a failing webhook or check a source configuration. Your AI acts as a dedicated DevOps engineer for your event pipeline.
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly debug and manage webhook routes without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- DevOps & SREs — automate the enabling/disabling of connections during deployment windows or incidents.
- Support Engineers — check source configurations and connection statuses to troubleshoot client integration issues.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Hookdeck (Webhook Gateway) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 75 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

Frequently asked questions
Can I pause a specific webhook connection if my destination server is undergoing maintenance?
Yes. Use the pause_connection tool with the Connection ID. This will hold incoming events until you use unpause_connection to resume delivery.
How do I see all the active sources currently receiving webhooks?
Simply ask the agent to run list_sources. It will return a list of all configured sources, including their IDs and current status.
Is it possible to get a quick count of how many connections I have configured?
Yes, the count_connections tool provides the total number of connections in your Hookdeck project instantly.
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.
