Inspired by Serena, but using VS Code's built-in capabilities. Perfect for extending existing coding agents like Claude Code with VS Code-specific capabilities (symbol search, document outlines) without duplicating tools they already have. Note that this extension uses the streamable HTTP API, not the SSE API. This extension can allow for execution of shell commands. This means that there is a potential security risk, so use with caution, and ensure that you trust the MCP client that you are using and that the port is not exposed to anything. Authentication would help, but as the MCP authentication spec is still in flux, this has not been implemented for now. PRs are welcome!

Install the extension from the Marketplace or clone this repository and run npm install and npm run compile to build it.

To do this, your claude desktop config.json file should look like this: I also like to use this extension in a Claude project, as it allows me to specify additional instructions for Claude. I find the following prompt to work well: For context efficiency when exploring codebases, consider adding this to your CLAUDE.md: This extensio","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/juehang","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/juehang/vscode-mcp-server/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
