How do I use Tracelink MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Tracelink MCP Server Retrieve orders for customer 789" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Tracelink MCP Server

MCP server that gives Claude and GitHub Copilot access to the Tracelink API.

Installation

npm install

Configuration in Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tracelink": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/tracelink-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TRACELINK_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — the server starts automatically.

Configuration in VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Requires VS Code 1.99+ and GitHub Copilot with Agent mode enabled.

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "tracelink": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/full/path/to/tracelink-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TRACELINK_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools are then available in Copilot Chat when Agent mode is active.
