VSCode tools and resources as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in a VSCode extension.
The VSCode MCP Server is a VSCode extension that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrated directly within VSCode. Its primary purpose is to expose a coding diagnostic tool—namely, the code_checker—which aggregates diagnostic messages (similar to those displayed in VSCode’s Problems panel) and makes them accessible to an external AI assistant via Server-Sent Events (SSE). This allows your assistant to invoke MCP methods and retrieve timely diagnostic information from your workspace.
.vsix file in the project root.list_debug_sessions — Retrieve all active debug sessions in the workspace.start_debug_session — Start a new debug session with the provided configuration.stop_debug_session — Stop debug sessions matching a specific session name.restart_debug_session — Restart a debug session by stopping it and then starting it with the provided configuration (new!).Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
