VS Code blast radius assess_against_frontier_line

Add blast radius to VS Code

1. 01

   Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "blast-radius": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://blast-radius.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart VS Code.

3. 03

   Ask for something assess_against_frontier_line does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls assess_against_frontier_line itself — you do not invoke it by name.

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that blast radius's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs
