Matt Bierner 2ee6b0b7b9 Update all of our samples to target VSCode 1.100 or newer
This makes sure that if folks get a relatively recent `vscode.d.ts`. It also lets us safely bump up the target to es2024 so you can use all the latest lib additions

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.
