Add the Pipedrive MCP server to VS Code

Prerequisites

• VS Code installed.
• PIPEDRIVE_API_TOKEN — Your Pipedrive API token, from Settings > API in your Pipedrive account.

Setup

{
  "servers": {
    "pipedrive": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@iamsamuelfraga/mcp-pipedrive"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PIPEDRIVE_API_TOKEN": "<PIPEDRIVE_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gotchas

• VS Code uses the `servers` key (not `mcpServers`) and requires `type`.

VS Code is the exception to every other client: its top-level key is "servers", not "mcpServers", and each entry needs an explicit "type" (for example "http" or "stdio"). Secrets are not inlined; instead you declare an "inputs" array and reference each value as ${input:id}, so VS Code prompts for it once and never writes it to disk. Remote servers connect natively with OAuth.
