Shared customer context in VS Code Copilot

Stop wasting developer hours hunting down account managers to explain a bug's impact. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to `list_planhat_companies` inside VS Code Copilot using this MCP Server. When a high-priority bug ticket comes in, your team can immediately run `get_planhat_company` to see the affected account's size and status. It connects your codebase directly to your business metrics.

Debug customer issues with live conversations

When debugging complex integration issues, reading the code isn't enough. Our MCP Server lets your developers use `list_planhat_conversations` to pull recent support threads and customer emails directly into their chat. They can also check `list_planhat_notes` to see what workarounds the customer success team already tried. It gives your engineers the full story without making them leave their development environment.

Track user adoption and active projects

Before shipping a major breaking change, check who is actually using the features. This MCP Server lets your team run `list_planhat_end_users` to see who is active, ensuring you don't break workflows for critical accounts. You can also track active deployments by querying `list_planhat_projects`. This lets you align your release schedules with actual customer onboarding timelines.

Setup guide

Set up Planhat 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.
2

Switch to Agent mode
