The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs).
The MCP Server for VS Code is an extension that implements the Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration between the development environment and AI assistants. It manages protocol details and provides a robust framework for implementing various capabilities. The server establishes a standardized lifecycle for client-server connections, ensures proper capability negotiation and state management, provides structured access to external data sources and tools, handles authentication and security protocols, and manages context distribution between LLMs and applications. Built using the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`, it offers TypeScript/JavaScript implementation, protocol handling utilities, capability management, and connection lifecycle management.
Features
- Standardized Communication: Implements the MCP specification for client-server interaction, handling protocol-level details automatically and providing consistent interfaces for capability implementation.
- Context Management: Efficient handling of context distribution with smart context caching and updating, and structured data formatting for LLM consumption.
- Security: Built-in authentication mechanisms, secure handling of sensitive information, and permission-based access control.
- Integration Capabilities: Connects with various data sources, interfaces with development tools, and features an extensible plugin architecture.
