Description

capi is a minimal, scriptable kernel for VSCode automation that exposes all VSCode APIs, commands, and session controls as raw, composable primitives without enforcing workflows or abstractions. It enables developers and agents to control any VSCode window externally, facilitating rapid prototyping, agent integration, and creative automation. capi also serves as the foundation for the MCP server and tools, allowing any assistant or tool to interact with VSCode via its APIs at runtime.
