The VS Code MCP Server enables AI assistants to interact directly with VS Code through a bidirectional communication channel. It provides tools for file diffing with user approval, opening files and projects, executing shell commands in VS Code's terminal, and retrieving information about active editor tabs. The implementation consists of two main components: a server that handles MCP protocol communication and a VS Code extension that provides native integration features. This allows AI agents to perform code modifications, navigate projects, and execute commands without leaving the conversation interface, making it particularly valuable for collaborative coding sessions and AI-assisted development workflows.
