A VS Code extension that provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI assistants to interact with your VS Code environment for language intelligence, debugging, and code execution.
Give Claude Code direct access to VS Code's code navigation, error checking, and debugging tools through the Model Context Protocol.
Language Intelligence: Access VS Code's language server features including:
Debugging Support: Control VS Code's debugger programmatically:
Step 1: Install VS Code Extension
Download the .vsix file from Releases and install:
... menu → Install from VSIXcode --install-extension mcp-server-vscode-*.vsixStep 2: Configure Claude Desktop
The MCP server runs directly from GitHub using npx. Add this to your Claude config:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json{
"mcpServers": {
"vscode": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["github:malvex/mcp-server-vscode"]
}
}
}
Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop
That's it! The VS Code tools are now available in Claude.
For Claude Code users, run this one-liner:
claude mcp add-json vscode '{"type":"stdio","command":"npx","args":["github:malvex/mcp-server-vscode"]}' -s user
Once installed, the extension shows the MCP server status in the VS Code status bar (bottom right).
To start the MCP server: Click on "VS Code MCP: Stopped" in the status bar. It will change to "VS Code MCP: 8991" when running.
The status bar indicates:
Click the status bar item to toggle the server on/off.

If Claude can't connect to VS Code:
npx github:malvex/mcp-server-vscode in terminalThe extension provides 25 tools organized into three main categories:
All tools support:
When connected via MCP, AI assistants can use these tools to help users with development tasks:
User: "What does the handleRequest function do?"
AI uses: hover({ symbol: "handleRequest" })
→ Gets type signature and documentation without reading entire files
User: "Where is the DatabaseConnection class defined?"
AI uses: definition({ symbol: "DatabaseConnection" })
→ Instantly finds the file and line where it's declared
User: "Show me all places where processPayment is called"
AI uses: callHierarchy({ symbol: "processPayment", direction: "incoming" })
→ Gets complete list of callers with their locations
User: "Rename the oldMethodName method to newMethodName everywhere"
AI uses: refactor_rename({ symbol: "oldMethodName", newName: "newMethodName" })
→ Safely renames across all files, updating imports and references
User: "Help me debug why the server crashes"
AI uses: debug_listConfigurations({})
→ Shows available debug configurations
AI uses: debug_startSession({ configuration: "Debug Server" })
→ Starts the debug session
User: "Set a breakpoint where errors are handled"
AI uses: debug_setBreakpoint({ symbol: "handleError" })
→ Sets breakpoint on the function
User: "What's the value of the user object here?"
AI uses: debug_inspectVariables({ scope: "locals", filter: "user" })
→ Shows current value of user variable in debug context
User: "Why is this condition true?"
AI uses: debug_evaluateExpression({ expression: "users.length > 0 && isActive" })
→ Evaluates the expression in current debug scope
