VS Code PayStage decode_payment_required

How to: VS Code PayStage decode_payment_required

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

Add PayStage 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.paystage.xyz/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

PayStage will not start until these are set, so decode_payment_required never becomes available.

  • PAYSTAGE_POLICY_PATH
  • PAYSTAGE_RPC_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 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.
