What the code does

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    const child = spawn(options.command, args, {

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

      - name: Create or update the release pull request
        if: ${{ env.RELEASE_APP_CLIENT_ID_CONFIGURED == 'true' && env.RELEASE_APP_PRIVATE_KEY_CONFIGURED == 'true' }}

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_VSCODE_WORKSPACE (Absolute path to the workspace directory exposed through VS Code and MCP tools.), MCP_VSCODE_RENDER_MODE (Set to 'stream' to opt into experimental genuine-workbench pixel streaming; omit for normal iframe/browser behavior.), MCP_VSCODE_STREAM_BROWSER (Optional absolute path to an installed Edge, Chrome, or Chromium executable used by experimental streaming.), MCP_VSCODE_STREAM_NO_SANDBOX (Unsafe container-only escape hatch: set to 1 to launch streaming Chromium without its process sandbox.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
