MCP Extension sample

This sample demonstrates usage of the MCP connection API. This API is currently still proposed.

Running the Sample

  • Run npm install in terminal to install dependencies
  • A postinstall script would download latest version of vscode.proposed.<proposalName>.d.ts
  • Run the Run Extension target in the Debug View. This will:
    • Start a task npm: watch to compile the code
    • Run the extension in a new VS Code window
  • In the new window, run the command Add Gist Source command with a gist containing MCP servers (example)
  • You can now run these MCP servers in chat.
