VS Code 360dialog show_template_preview

How to: VS Code 360dialog show_template_preview

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http tool:show_template_preview

Add 360dialog to VS Code

  1. 01

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

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.360dialog.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that 360dialog'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

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 8 November 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
