As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE=<YOUR_MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE>" --transport stdio mcp-vscode -- npx -y @mario.andreschak/mcp-vscode --stdio "<YOUR_STDIO>"[mcp_servers.mcp-vscode]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@mario.andreschak/mcp-vscode", "--stdio", "<YOUR_STDIO>"]
[mcp_servers.mcp-vscode.env]
MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE = "<YOUR_MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE>"{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-vscode": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mario.andreschak/mcp-vscode",
"--stdio",
"<YOUR_STDIO>"
],
"env": {
"MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE": "<YOUR_MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: MCP_VSCODE_RENDER_MODE, MCP_VSCODE_STREAM_BROWSER, MCP_VSCODE_STREAM_NO_SANDBOX.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
