Connect HelpKit to VS Code – HelpKit

VS Code has a one-click installer for MCP servers. The button lives in your HelpKit dashboard, because it carries the server address with it.

One-click install

1. Open Account Settings → MCP in your HelpKit dashboard, pick VS Code, and click Add to VS Code. VS Code opens with the server already filled in. Approve the install.

2. Sign in. On the first connection VS Code asks you to sign in. A HelpKit page opens in your browser. Sign in if you need to, click Approve, and you are connected.

3. Check it worked.

Adding it by hand

Run MCP: Add Server from the command palette and choose HTTP, or add this to your mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "helpkit": {
      "url": "https://connect.helpkit.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If it does not work

Make sure the server is switched on in the MCP panel and that the sign-in completed.
