Mission HQ — VS Code Extension
Connect your IDE to Mission HQ — AI project management that gives your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) full project context across sessions: plans, modules, tasks, memories, and session handoffs via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
What it does
- Login — sign in to Mission HQ from VS Code (
Ctrl+Shift+P → MHQ: Login). API keys are stored securely in the OS keychain (VS Code SecretStorage).
- Setup Project — pick a plan and connect this folder in one click: writes the global MCP config (
~/.claude.json) and .mhq/config.json; your agent completes the rest (CLAUDE.md, hooks, slash commands) on first run.
- Check Config — deep-verify the whole setup and Repair anything missing or outdated with one click.
- Dashboard — see plan progress, modules, the last session, and a one-tap prompt to resume work.
It installs a bundle of MHQ slash commands for your agent: /mhq-start-session, /mhq-next-task, /mhq-save-session, /mhq-search, /mhq-review-module, /board-mhq, /mhq-help.
Quick start
- Install the extension.
Ctrl+Shift+P → MHQ: Login → enter your email and password.- MHQ: Setup Project → select your plan → Reload Window.
- Open your AI agent and run
/mhq-start-session.

How it works
Mission HQ is an AI project-management platform that uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to give AI coding agents persistent project context — plans, tasks, rules, memories, and session handoffs. This extension replaces the manual web onboarding with a native, one-click VS Code experience.
