Run Whismo Platform commands from the editor. A thin client over the Whismo
/api/v1, the same API, auth, and scopes as the Whismo CLI and MCP server.
Proprietary, free-to-use software. See the bundled
LICENSEfile. Not open-source. The product logic is server-side behind the authenticated/api/v1; this extension is useless without a valid Whismo API key.
Setup
Open Settings, Extensions, Whismo for VS Code and set:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
whismo.baseUrl |
your Whismo API base URL, e.g. https://api.whismo.com/api/v1 |
whismo.apiKey |
your Whismo API key (shown once when created in the console) |
If either is empty, the command prompts you for it (the key prompt is masked).
Commands
Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) and type "Whismo":
- Whismo: Check API Health: verify the key and base URL reach the API.
- Whismo: List Tenants: list tenants in the output panel.
- Whismo: Get Tenant by ID: fetch one tenant as JSON.
- Whismo: Query a Tenant's Brain: run a brain query and show the result.
How it fits
The Whismo SDK, CLI, MCP server, and this extension are all thin clients over
one authenticated, scoped Whismo /api/v1. The product logic stays server-side.
The extension makes no destructive changes from the editor and never sends your
API key to a non-https host.
Security
Your API key is stored in the OS keychain (VS Code SecretStorage), never in a plaintext setting. The base URL is machine-scoped so a workspace cannot redirect your key to an untrusted host.
