I am absolutely floored with how good the claude code vs code extension works versus what it used to be. I've been using the terminal application for a long time because, frankly, it sucked before in the editor. It's now so good, I don't think I'll go back to the terminal anymore. Great job, team.

Hello! I recently made a VS Code extension that hosts an MCP server that can be accessed by Claude, with access to read and write files, shell commands, symbol search, hovertext, and diagnostic tools (ie. syntax checking and linter warnings).

I primarily made this for my own use, but I thought I'd share it. Let me know what you think!

Here's the extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JuehangQin.vscode-mcp-server

And here's a demo video:

I tried this, but I can't find the VSCode extension first of all (it won't install), and when I find the .vsix file and install the extension into Vscode myself, still no ides will be detected upon running claude code via the Ubuntu terminal inside Vscode. Does anyone have access to this? I updated vscode and claude code to the newest version, but i can't seem to be able to run it.
