"tax-tools": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.arcandledger.com/directory/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart VS Code.

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what

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.
