If you already use Vscode MCP, the vscode mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. This monorepo contains the VSCode MCP Server and its companion VSCode Extension, which together enable AI agents and assistants, like Goose or Claude, to interact with VSCode through the Model Context Protocol.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
create_diff — The create_diff tool exposed by this serveropen_file — The open_file tool exposed by this serveropen_project — The open_project tool exposed by this servercheck_extension_status — The check_extension_status tool exposed by this serverget_extension_port — The get_extension_port tool exposed by this serverlist_available_projects — The list_available_projects tool exposed by this serverThe server ships on npm as vscode-mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Vscode MCP's toolset — create_diff, open_file, open_project and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by block; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
