VS Code proofite update_source

How to: VS Code proofite update_source

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

Add proofite to VS Code

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

proofite will not start until these are set, so update_source never becomes available.

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.
