VS Code Hesperan decide

How to: VS Code Hesperan decide

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

Add Hesperan to VS Code

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Set these first

Hesperan will not start until these are set, so decide never becomes available.

  • HESPERAN_API_KEY
  • HESPERAN_BASE_URL

Same tool, other clients

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