VS Code devops status mcp server devops_check_dns

How to: VS Code devops status mcp server devops_check_dns

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

Add devops status mcp server to VS Code

  1. 01

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

{
  "servers": {
    "devops-status-mcp-server": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://devops-status.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that devops status mcp server'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

devops status mcp server will not start until these are set, so devops_check_dns never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL
  • DEVOPS_STATUS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_TARGETS
  • DEVOPS_STATUS_DISABLE_ACTIVE_PROBES

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.
