Example Use Cases

• 1

  Inspect the current VSCode workspace (active file contents, open tabs, diagnostics) to provide context-aware code suggestions or debugging help.

• 2

  Read, write, or apply line-based edits to project files and generate directory listings or trees to modify project structure programmatically.

• 3

  Run shell commands and capture terminal output in a controlled environment to perform builds, tests, or gather runtime information.

Description

This MCP server provides AI agents with programmatic access to VSCode context such as active files, open tabs, diagnostics, terminal output, and attached files. It also offers filesystem operations (read/write/edit/move/list/search) and the ability to run shell commands in a controlled way. The tool is intended to make AI assistants more context-aware and able to perform code-related tasks, debugging, and file manipulations directly against the user's VSCode project. It is distributed as a local tool meant to be run by the user and integrated with MCP-compatible assistants.
