VS Code

1. Create a token in GetIntel under Integrations.

2. Add GetIntel to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

   .vscode/mcp.json

   {
     "servers": {
       "getintel": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://app.getintel.ai/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
       }
     }
   }

3. Start the server from the Start link above the entry, then open Chat in Agent mode. GetIntel’s tools appear in the tools picker.

Caution

Don’t commit a real token. Keep .vscode/mcp.json out of version control, or use VS Code’s input variables so the token is prompted for instead of stored.

Or connect without a token

VS Code also supports sign-in. Add the server with no headers:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "getintel": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.getintel.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Start the server and VS Code opens GetIntel’s sign-in page, then an approval page where you pick a brand and choose whether to allow actions. The access token it gets lasts 2 hours and refreshes itself automatically.
