VS Code Autopo generate_media

How to: VS Code Autopo generate_media

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

Add Autopo to VS Code

  1. 01

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

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://autopoiesis-mcp-267405155162.us-west1.run.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Autopo will not start until these are set, so generate_media never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 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.
