The Open Source Drop Lens
Tools for packaging and managing VS Code extensions (.vsix files) through MCP. Build, validate, and inspect extension packages without memorizing the vsce CLI flags.
This is a narrow-purpose server aimed at VS Code extension developers. Setup is straightforward if you're already in the extension development workflow.
Maintained by Microsoft as part of their MCP monorepo. Only worth installing if you actively build and publish VS Code extensions. Everyone else can skip it.
