HonestHook MCP server in VS Code

VS Code takes remote servers with `"type": "http"`. The workspace file uses a `servers` key, which is the one difference worth knowing.

Where the config lives

Scope	File
Workspace	`.vscode/mcp.json`
Portable, any editor	`.mcp.json`
Your profile	`MCP: Open User Configuration`

The config

{
  "servers": {
    "honesthook": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://honesthook.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The top-level key is `servers` in `.vscode/mcp.json` and `mcpServers` in the portable `.mcp.json`. Same server, two wrappers — copying the wrong one into the wrong file is the common mistake.

The server exposes 12 tools, 5 of them with no key and no credits — the full list, and what each one returns, is on the integrations index. The endpoint reference is on the docs page.

Copilot Chat answers from the anonymous tools with no key at all. The ones that read a real profile need one, and spend credits.
