About vscode-mcp
tjx666/vscode-mcp
MCP server for Claude Code/VSCode/Cursor/Windsurf to use editor self functionality. ⚡ Get real-time LSP diagnostics, type information, and code navigation for AI coding agents without waiting for slow tsc/eslint checks.
Exposes eight MCP tools including symbol renaming with automatic import updates, comprehensive LSP information aggregation (definition, hover, signatures), and safe file operations—all backed by VSCode's language servers rather than subprocess execution. Operates as a monorepo with a VSCode extension bridge that maintains per-workspace socket connections to route MCP protocol requests into real-time LSP data, eliminating delays from external type-checking and linting commands. Supports Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI with granular tool filtering via environment variables or command-line arguments.
About copilot-mcp
VikashLoomba/copilot-mcp
A VSCode extension that lets you find and install Agent Skills and MCP Apps to use with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex CLI.
The extension functions as an MCP client that manages multiple local or remote servers through a unified VS Code UI, exposing their tools directly to Copilot/Claude via standardized Model Context Protocol bindings. It includes server discovery, agent-level skill installation controls, and optional Cloud MCP integration for remote execution without local setup. The project vendors and syncs a Copilot provider from upstream to maintain compatibility with GitHub's agent ecosystem.
