gtm.help

Agent setup

Connect VS Code to gtm.help

VS Code speaks MCP natively, so Copilot's agent mode can pull this week's growth plays, mark them shipped and draft replies while you work on the product.

Setup

Add the MCP server in VS Code.

  1. Step 1

    Create the MCP config file

    In your project, add .vscode/mcp.json. To have gtm.help available in every project instead, run the command MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette.

  2. Step 2

    Add the gtm.help server

    Paste this block. VS Code speaks Streamable HTTP, so there is no local process, npx wrapper or API key involved.

    {
  "servers": {
    "gtm-help": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gtm.help/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  3. Step 3

    Start it and sign in

    A Start link appears above the entry in mcp.json — click it. VS Code asks permission to sign in, opens gtm.help in your browser, and the server turns green with its tool count once you approve.

  4. Step 4

    Switch Copilot to agent mode

    Open Chat, pick Agent from the mode dropdown, then check the tools icon lists gtm-help. Try this to confirm everything works.

    Use gtm.help to analyse stripe.com and give me three growth plays.

Try it

First things to ask.

Once VS Code is connected, these prompts confirm everything works.

  • “Analyse stripe.com and give me three growth plays.” (free, no plan needed)
  • “List my gtm.help workspaces.”
  • “What should I ship this week?”
  • “Mark the cold outbound play complete and share a recap.”

What it can see

What VS Code gets access to.

Your agent works inside your own account, and it never posts anything for you.

  • Your agent signs in as you. It sees the same businesses, plans and notes you see when you log in — nothing from anyone else's account.
  • It can read your plan, move plays, store notes, draft replies and read the numbers your connected tools have synced.
  • It can never post, comment or message on Reddit, LinkedIn, X or anywhere else. Drafts are text you copy, edit and post yourself.
  • It cannot see your password, your card details or anyone's contact data. Invoices are limited to your own account.
  • Disconnect whenever you like: remove the connector in your agent, and the access ends immediately.

If something goes wrong

The four common snags.

The server connects but shows no tools

The sign-in did not finish. Remove the connector, add it again and complete the gtm.help sign-in window to the end.

The sign-in window keeps reopening

Usually a blocked pop-up or a stale cookie. Allow pop-ups for your agent, sign in at gtm.help in the same browser first, then retry.

It worked yesterday and now says disconnected

The access token expired. Reconnecting takes a few seconds and keeps all your data.

Analysing a site works, but everything else is refused

Site analysis is free; reading and changing your own plan needs an active plan. Start a 7-day trial and the rest unlocks.

Good to know

Notes for VS Code.

  • Agent mode and MCP support need a reasonably recent VS Code; if there is no Agent option in the chat mode dropdown, update first.
  • The tools picker in Chat lets you turn individual gtm.help tools on and off per conversation.
  • Committing .vscode/mcp.json shares the setup with your team — there are no secrets in it, everyone signs in as themselves.
