About VSCode Devtools

VSCode Devtools is a VSCode extension that runs an MCP server to expose semantic code actions such as Find Usages and Rename to large language models. It allows LLMs to query and modify code structure directly from the editor environment.

Best for

Developers building LLM-powered code analysis and refactoring tools

Use cases

Find all usages of a symbol via an LLM prompt
Rename symbols across a project with LLM assistance
Query code structure semantically from an LLM client

Notes

214 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-03-27. Licensed AGPL-3.0.

Pros

Exposes IDE-level semantic tools to LLMs via the MCP protocol
Lightweight extension that integrates directly into VSCode
Open source with a clear TypeScript codebase

Cons

Requires an MCP-compatible LLM client to function
Limited to the semantic actions currently exposed (Find Usages, Rename)
Small community and limited documentation (214 stars)

Install

Add VSCode Devtools to your client

Not verified yet

No install recipe yet. We write one for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and ChatGPT when the server is in the official MCP registry with a package or remote address we can use.

Until then, follow the project's own README, or the setup the listing publishes under How to set it up.

What VSCode Devtools connects to
