Connect VS Code

View as Markdown

This page connects VS Code (GitHub Copilot chat) to the MCP server of a Flowkiwi instance. Read Connect an AI agent (MCP) first for the sign-in, access levels and troubleshooting.

Sign in and pick your instance to fill your server URL into the snippets below (optional, the sign-in only serves the docs):

Sign in to drop your real token into the commands below.

Add the server

Section titled “Add the server”

In the workspace

Section titled “In the workspace”

Create or edit .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. VS Code lists servers under servers:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "flowkiwi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://<tenant>.product-management.flowkiwi.net/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Flowkiwi-Api-Version": "2026-07"
      }
    }
  }
}

The headers block is optional; it pins the API version. The file holds no secret, so you can commit it: each person signs in with their own account.

For all your workspaces

Section titled “For all your workspaces”

Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette and add the same flowkiwi entry under servers. You can also run MCP: Add Server for a guided setup: choose an HTTP server and paste the URL.

Sign in

Section titled “Sign in”

On the first connection, VS Code opens your browser on the Flowkiwi sign-in. Sign in, pick the organization and the access level on the consent screen, and go back to VS Code.

Use it

Section titled “Use it”

Open Copilot chat in agent mode: the Flowkiwi tools are available, and the Configure Tools button lets you turn each of them on or off. Ask, for example: “List the draft products of the Kitchen category”. Depending on your settings, VS Code asks you to confirm each tool call.
